Pet scratch and bite injury treatment principles

First aid solution After being scratched or bitten by a cat or dog, treat the wound immediately. First tie a tourniquet above the wound (a handkerchief, rope, etc. can be used as a substitute) to prevent or reduce the flow of virus into the whole body with the blood. 1. Quickly wash the wound with clean water or soapy water in running water to thoroughly clean the wound. Do not bandage the wound. 2.Take to hospital quickly for consultation and treatment, and inject rabies vaccine and tetanus antitoxin within 24 hours. Precautions When children are in close contact with pets such as dogs and cats, special attention should be paid to: ① Do not frighten the animal suddenly, the animal’s stress reaction will attack. ② When the dog is sniffing around you, do not panic and stand still in place. ③ When the dog chases you, do not lift your foot to kick it. An effective way is to stand still and pretend to bend down to pick up a stone to hit it. ④When petting your pet, approach it slowly with your palm down. If the palm of your hand is up, the pet will think you are going to hit it. Love tips When you have a wound on your body, do not be intimate with your pet to prevent your pet’s saliva from contaminating the wound. Children who like to have dogs should give their pets regular vaccinations against rabies.
