What can cause cat scratch
Scratches or bites from a stray or pet cat. Bacteria on a cat’s claws and teeth can enter the skin, and cats can carry an infection called cat scratch disease.
Understanding 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.
Care and treatment for cat scratch
The physician 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. Treatment can involve 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
- Wash the scratch well with soap and running water
- Watch the area for redness, swelling or pus over the next days
- Do not let the cat lick the wound
