About cat scratch
Claws or teeth can break the skin. Most cat scratches heal without help, yet infection is possible, and in Turkey animal wounds carry a small risk of rabies.
What can cause cat scratch
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.
How cat scratch feels
- Mild pain or itching
- Swelling and redness around the scratch

- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
Getting cat scratch treated in Turkbuku
Via video the physician checks the wound, gives care advice and prescribes antibiotics for 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. Typical choices are 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
