Cat bite treatment

2019-04-06 09:54:30
My cat bit me yesterday.. it is a punctured wound. My doctor advised for 3days rabies shot.. 1st one I took today along with a tetanus shot. Another two rabies shots are scheduled for 3rd day and 7th day.. should I require to take more shots or is it sufficient enough because I have read there are shots of 4days and 5days.. I'm just worried that will I be fine..

In case of bite by pet.. Three post exposure vaccines are sufficient, as you can keep eyes on your pet.. If the cat remains healthy ,alive..no need of further antirabic vaccines.
Next Steps
But penetrating injuries needs antibiotic coverage and through wound care  .
Health Tips
please vaccinate your pets regularly. wash wound in running tap water in case of bites, scratches, any skin loss...
