About Cat Scratch
A cat scratch is a break in the skin from a cat’s claws or teeth. Most heal on their own, but cat scratches can become infected, and animal bites and scratches also carry a small risk of rabies in Turkey.
Local Tips for Cat Scratch in Lara
Lara’s hotel strip is built around sandy beaches and big pools, so sun and pool-related problems are typical. Friendly stray cats around hotels and beach cafes are tempting to stroke. Do not touch them, and wash any scratch straight away.
Preventing Cat Scratch
Do not tease or handle stray cats, wash any scratch straight away and keep tetanus vaccination up to date.
Care and Treatment for Cat Scratch
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 doctor may suggest wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a tetanus booster or rabies treatment is arranged in person when needed.
- Wash the scratch well with soap and running water
- 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
