In our lives today, almost every household adopts a kitten or puppy as a pet. So we accompany them day and night, and they are also our most loyal friends. However, if accidentally scratched, the problem can still be serious. If scratched by a cat and bleeding occurs, do you need an injection?

If the wound is not very severe, just a slight scratch, basic cleaning and care with careful bandaging are enough, and no injection is needed. But the problem is, if the wound has been scratched by fur and is bleeding, it is best to go to the hospital for an injection. Because animals have a possibility of causing infection. Without injection, it may also worsen your health.

Moreover, it is best to get vaccinated for rabies and receive serum. When scratched, don’t panic; stay calm. Quickly rinse the wound with clean water, and you can also clean it with soap to help disinfect. This will prevent the problem from becoming more serious. Next is disinfection; at this time, choose iodine to apply on the wound and the surrounding skin, which will make the problem easier to solve. Then get vaccinated. During the period before the issue is handled, pay attention to your diet. You must avoid certain foods. Remember not to drink alcohol, strong tea, or coffee. For your staple foods, it’s best to choose milder options without too much stimulation. Of course, if you take good care of your body during this period and ensure there are no abnormalities, you can appropriately choose to eat your favorite foods. But during the injection and observation period, it’s best to avoid certain foods.

If scratched and bleeding by a cat, you definitely need to get an injection; this is responsible for your own health. So don’t be lazy or take it lightly. Keep delaying the injection, or the consequences could be unimaginable.

We hope everyone will raise safety awareness and be more careful when raising cats.
