If you are scratched by a domestic cat and bleed, you will need an injection. Because pets may harbor bacteria or viruses, even domestic cats that have been vaccinated against rabies are at risk of contracting rabies virus. If you are scratched and bleeding by a domestic cat, first clean the wound thoroughly with running water, then use iodine or alcohol to disinfect the wound, and go to the hospital for injection in time after treatment.

Emergency treatment methods for serious wounds

1. If bleeding is severe, use a clean towel to apply pressure to the wound. Apply firm pressure to the bleeding area with a towel until the amount of bleeding decreases.

2. After washing your hands thoroughly, gently clean the wound with soap, and then rinse with clean water. When washing, do not rub the injured area to avoid causing bleeding.

3. Go to the hospital for injection in time after treatment.

Note: If you are just scratched by a cat, there is no bleeding, and the cat has been vaccinated and has not been in contact with other animals, you do not need to be vaccinated, but you must clean the scratched area before use. Disinfect the wound with iodine or alcohol.
