E-rx.onlineGocek: Local Notes for Cat Scratch
Gocek is a sailing and yacht harbour, so days on the water bring sun, wind and seasickness. Village and farm cats are frequently unvaccinated. Keep your distance and have any bite assessed.
Common Triggers
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.
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.
Symptoms of Cat Scratch
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Mild pain or itching
Getting Cat Scratch Treated in Gocek
Via video the physician 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.
