What is the right treatment when a household cat scratches or bites us?

Hi Tejal. One should thoroughly clean the wound with any carbolic soap under running tap water, apply Povidone iodine ointment and get Anti rabies injections.

Thanks doctor. Is the anti-rabies injection mandatory even if the cat is fully vaccinated?

Dr. Tajunnisa M
It depends. If the bite is provoked/happened while playing or if the pet is completely vaccinated and showing no signs of rabies (hypersalivation, hyper aggression or tendency of unprovoked biting) then a post bite vaccination isn’t required. Anyhow the pet parents fall under risk category, it’s advisable to take a pre bite vaccination for the prevention.

Seeing this inflamed/swollen area in my pup since a couple days, applied ice to reduce inflammation and it works for a while and seems to give him relief. But it's bleeding a little bit, I noticed this morning when I saw blood on his paw. I could see a slight cut mark yesterday, can't see it today. Any suggestions on what should I do?
