- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
About 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.
Getting Cat Scratch Treated in Guzeloba
The physician looks at the wound on camera, advises on wound care and prescribes an antibiotic if it looks infected. 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.
