Claws or teeth can break the skin. 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.
Getting cat scratch treated in Nisantasi
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, the doctor will tell you 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.
