If a wild cat scratches and bleeds, do I need an injection?

Injection is recommended for bleeding after being scratched by a wild cat. The rabies virus does not exist in sick dogs. Cows, pigs, cats, etc. are also common sources of rabies infection. Wild cats, in particular, are highly mobile and are more likely to carry rabies viruses. Being scratched by a feral cat is a level three exposure and requires rabies vaccination. In addition, rabies immune globulin or serum should be injected, and it is best to inject it within 24 hours for better results.
How to deal with bleeding after being scratched by a wild cat:
1. First, squeeze out the congestion from the wound to avoid more skin infections.
2. Then rinse the wound area with cold water, and use soap to clean the wound area repeatedly during the flushing process.
3. Then wipe the wound clean with a paper towel, and then use a cotton ball dipped in iodine or alcohol to disinfect the wound.
4. Go to the hospital to get rabies vaccine within 24 hours, and then bandage the wound.
5. Wounds must be taken care of promptly, and the correct method of wound treatment includes thorough washing and disinfection with running water and a certain concentration of lotion.
