Stray Cat teeth scratched skin mildly

2024-05-08 17:20:08
Do i have to get a TT or any specific vaccine ? I got teeth scratched on my hand by a stray cat I feed. It's a superficial scratch as there is no bleeding or tear as far as I can see. I washed it thoroughly with soap and applied dettol on the spot within 10 mins. Should I be worried or should I definitely meet a doctor for this minor scratch? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Since it is a stray animal, it is always better to get antirabies vaccination and TT as a prevention.

If there is only superficial scratches then don’t worry about it . But you should get vaccinated against rabies for precautions.

Since it's a stray cat even a small bite can be risky please get the anti rabies vaccination done as a precaution.
