What is cat scratch?
A cat scratch is a break in the skin from a cat’s claws or teeth. Most cat scratches heal without help, yet infection is possible, and in Turkey animal wounds carry a small risk of rabies.
Symptoms of cat scratch
- Mild pain or itching
- Red scratch marks on the skin
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
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.
Avoiding cat scratch on holiday
Do not tease or handle stray cats, wash any scratch straight away and keep tetanus vaccination up to date.
How cat scratch is treated
Via video the physician checks the wound, gives care advice and prescribes antibiotics for infection. For a stray or unwell cat, they will say if a face-to-face visit for rabies advice is necessary. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a tetanus booster or rabies treatment is arranged in person when needed.
- Pat dry and cover it with a clean dressing
- Watch the area for redness, swelling or pus over the next days
- Do not let the cat lick the wound
