Understanding Cat Scratch
A cat scratch is a break in the skin from a cat’s claws or teeth. Most heal alone, but they can become infected, and animal bites or scratches also carry a small rabies risk in Turkey.

- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Mild pain or itching
What Can Cause Cat Scratch
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.
Care and Treatment for Cat Scratch
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.
