About Cat Scratch
A cat scratch is a break in the skin from a cat’s claws or teeth. 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.

- Red scratch marks on the skin
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Mild pain or itching
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
Treatment Options for Cat Scratch in Kadikoy
The physician looks at the wound on camera, advises on wound care, and prescribes an antibiotic where there are signs of infection. For a stray or unwell cat, they will say if a face-to-face visit for rabies advice is necessary. Treatment can involve wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a tetanus booster or rabies treatment is arranged in person when needed.
