About cat scratch
A cat scratch is a break in the skin caused by a cat’s claws or teeth. Most heal on their own, but cat scratches can become infected, and animal bites and scratches also carry a small risk of rabies in Turkey.
Causes and risk factors
A stray or pet cat’s claws or teeth are responsible; bacteria enter the skin and cats can pass on an infection known as cat scratch disease.
Signs of cat scratch to look for
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
- Mild pain or itching
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Red scratch marks on the skin
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
Care and treatment for cat scratch
The doctor looks at the wound on camera, advises on wound care, and prescribes an antibiotic where there are signs of infection. If the cat was a stray or unwell, you will be told whether you need to be seen in person for rabies advice. Typical choices are wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a tetanus booster or rabies treatment is arranged in person when needed.
- Wash the scratch well with soap and running water
- Watch the area for redness, swelling or pus over the next days
- Pat dry and cover it with a clean dressing
- Do not let the cat lick the wound
