Cat Scratch
So a stray cat that I feed scratched me two days back. The scratches were bleeding and today there was some puss as well. Do I need a tetanus or anti rabies shot? And if yes, then I'm already two days late plus it's a Sunday today, so basically 3 days late. Is it a problem?

Take rabies vaccine, tt shot and treatment for cat scratch disease. You had to take first rabies vaccine in 24 hours. You people take the things lightly and follow the google. You are late but still go ahead and take the schedule.

You have to take anti rabies and tetanus vaccine... Pus indicates infection, clean the wound with tap water.. May requires antibiotics.. Requires consultation
