What Is 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.
What Can Cause Cat Scratch
Scratches or bites from a stray or pet cat. Bacteria on the claws and teeth can get into the skin, and cats may carry cat scratch disease.
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. Typical choices are 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
