It is possible to contract rabies from a cat scratch if the cat is infected with the virus, especially if the scratch breaks the skin and the saliva of the infected cat comes into contact with the wound. Since it has been over 20 hours since the incident, it is crucial to assess your risk and consider preventive treatment. Given that you have already received a tetanus shot, it’s important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). I recommend consulting with me for a more thorough evaluation and to discuss your treatment options. You can reach me via WhatsApp at eight hundred nine eight two one three three two for further assistance.
