Khargone. Dogs bite causes a serious disease like rabies, which is necessary on time. Otherwise it can prove to be fatal. In the same way people should not ignore cat bites. Otherwise your life may be in danger. Doctors believe that cat bites like dogs should also be treated immediately. Whether it is a wild cat or a pet. One should go to the hospital and get an injection done.

Dr. Swapnil Srivastava posted in Khargone’s government hospital says that rabies injections are made on dog bites, so that infections do not spread. For this, vaccine is available in all hospitals. Similarly, if a person bites a cat, then he should also go to the hospital for immediate treatment. Injections should also be installed if needed. Cat bites should not be taken lightly. Since, the cat is infected with an animal or it is bitten by a dog.

Cat -bite
According to the doctor, usually people ignore cat bites as a minor injury, which is not right. Cat bites cause a disease called hydrophobia, which is extremely dangerous. This disease is more effective when the cat is already infected rabies. In such a situation, if someone bites a cat, then immediate medical help should be taken.

Hemoglobin climbs with vaccine
Dr. Srivastava explains that the cat is also as capable of carrying rabies infection as a dog. Rabies should also be injected on cat bites. If the category lives 1 to 3, then anti rabies vaccine is installed. When the category is 3, the vaccine is accompanied by hemoglobin. People should also take some home remedies before bringing a cat, dog or other animal to the hospital, which can reduce the effect of infection to some extent.

What to do on cat bites
The wound cut by a dog or cat should be washed immediately after running for 5 to 10 minutes. This reduces the effect of the virus. After this, you can also apply the ointment available in the house. After this, treatment should be taken by going to the hospital near you. Doctors say that like dogs, cat bites also cause 4 to 5 injections, which take place first, third, seventh and twenty -eight on.
