If you are bitten or scratched by a dog (or cat) and the skin is broken, you usually need to get a rabies vaccine, because we cannot tell whether the paws of dogs or cats are infected with the saliva-containing virus. In addition, if the wound cannot be judged with the naked eye in the early stage, you can wipe the wound with alcohol. If there is a pinprick-like pain, it means that the skin has been damaged, and you should be vaccinated immediately;

What should you do if you are bitten or scratched by a cat?

1. First clean the wound with water, wash away the virus as much as possible, squeeze out the blood, then use iodine to disinfect the wound, and then use alcohol to clean off the iodine.
   
   
2. Go to the local epidemic prevention department immediately to get vaccinated. The incubation period of rabies is about 10 days, and may last several years if the disease is mild.
   
   

3. If the infection is severe, antiviral serum must be injected and used at the same time as the vaccine. However, antiviral serum may be allergic, so you must first check the needle under the guidance of a doctor.
   
   The clinical manifestations of cat-scratch disease are varied and often lead to misdiagnosis. Often 3-7 days after being caught by a cat, erythema, papules, herpes, pustules, scabs or small abscesses accompanied by local lymphangitis will appear on the caught part of the skin, followed by lymphadenitis. The lesions are located under the mandible, neck, infraorbital and groin, etc., with a diameter of about 1.8 cm. The lesions show granulomatous core inflammatory changes, and pus may be produced in the core. In the early stage, reticuloendothelial tissue hyperplasia is seen. Systemic symptoms include fever, headache, chills, general malaise, malaise, cough, anorexia, nausea or vomiting.
   
   Cat-scratch disease is a self-limiting disease. Most cases require no treatment and resolve within 3 to 3 months.
