Hamster bites that do not bleed and do not have broken skin usually do not require shots. Hamster bites that do not bleed but have broken skin will require an injection. After being bitten by a hamster, it is important to clean and disinfect the bitten area as soon as possible. You can use soapy water and water (or sterile saline) to rinse the wound to remove most of the viruses and bacteria. The time should be more than 15 minutes. After rinsing, apply povidone-iodine to sterilize the wound. Hamsters may carry viruses, and it is recommended to get vaccinated under the guidance of a doctor for broken skin after being bitten, including tetanus vaccine, etc. Hamster bites usually do not require rabies vaccine, which can be determined by a doctor’s judgment. If it is confirmed that the skin is not broken in any way, it can usually be disinfected in time without vaccination. Consult a medical professional for specific treatment.
