How Cat Scratch Is Treated
Via video the doctor checks the wound, gives care advice and prescribes antibiotics for 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.
- Do not let the cat lick the wound
- Watch the area for redness, swelling or pus over the next days
- Pat dry and cover it with a clean dressing
- Wash the scratch well with soap and running water
