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.

Hello. My female cat got spayed 2 days ago. When we got her home, she peed on herself. She badly wants to clean that part so she is insisting to remove neck cone that was put by the surgeon. She hasn’t eaten any food since she got spayed. The neck cone is making her feel uncomfortable I guess. We did try to remove the neck cone and force feed her, yet she spit the food all out. Also she stayed away from us and started licking her body where she had peed. Also she started to lick the wound region, tried to take of the bandage that was attached to stitched region. So we put back the neck cone again. We really don’t know what to do3 comments•36 views
