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.
