Scratches or bites from a stray or pet cat. Bacteria on a cat’s claws and teeth can enter the skin, and cats can carry an infection called cat scratch disease.
Cat Scratch Explained
A cat scratch is a break in the skin caused by 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.
How to Lower Your Risk of Cat Scratch
Do not tease or handle stray cats, wash any scratch straight away and keep tetanus vaccination up to date.
Treatment Options for Cat Scratch in Kabatas
The doctor 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.
