About Cat Scratch
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.
Causes and Risk Factors
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.
Typical Symptoms
- Mild pain or itching
- Red scratch marks on the skin
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
Getting Cat Scratch Treated in Sorgun
The doctor looks at the wound on camera, advises on wound care, and prescribes an antibiotic where there are signs of infection. If the cat was a stray or unwell, you will be told whether you need to be seen in person for rabies advice. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest 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
- Watch the area for redness, swelling or pus over the next days
- Wash the scratch well with soap and running water
- Pat dry and cover it with a clean dressing
