Understanding Cat Scratch
Claws or teeth can break the skin. Most cat scratches heal without help, yet infection is possible, and in Turkey animal wounds carry a small risk of rabies.
Why Cat Scratch Happens
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.
Signs of Cat Scratch to Look for
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
- Mild pain or itching
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Red scratch marks on the skin
Prevention Tips
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 Mecidiyekoy
