- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading

Cat Scratch Explained
Claws or teeth can break the skin. Most heal alone, but they can become infected, and animal bites or scratches also carry a small rabies risk in Turkey.

Treatment Options for Cat Scratch in Denizli
The doctor looks at the wound on camera, advises on wound care and prescribes an antibiotic if it looks infected. For a stray or unwell cat, they will say if a face-to-face visit for rabies advice is necessary. Typical choices are wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a tetanus booster or rabies treatment is arranged in person when needed.
