- Red scratch marks on the skin
- Mild pain or itching
Cat Scratch Explained
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
Via video the physician checks the wound, gives care advice and prescribes antibiotics for 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.
- Do not let the cat lick the wound
- Pat dry and cover it with a clean dressing
- Wash the scratch well with soap and running water
