Hello dear Please be aware See there are no chances of rabies However you must get tetanus antisera injection to prevent chances of tetanus No need for vaccination Regards
Even your cat was vaccinated but bite you and blood came I would suggest you to get rabies vaccine for 0,3,7,14 and 28 plus rabies immunoglobulin after 7 days of injection of first vaccine dose
Also use running water whenever it bleeds Take Tab doxycycline 200 mg or Amoxicillin 500 mg 2 time daily for 5 days
Observe your cat for any rabies symptoms
Given your situation, it’s good that you’ve already washed the wound thoroughly with soap and running water, as that’s a crucial first step in preventing infection. The tetanus shot is a wise precaution as well, particularly if it’s been more than 5 years since your last booster. Since your cat is fully vaccinated against rabies and is a home cat, the risk of rabies is extremely low. However, cat bites can still introduce bacteria into the wound, leading to infection. If the bleeding is persistent or if the wound appears deep, it could be prudent to cover it with a clean bandage and apply antiseptic. Keep an eye on signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, pain, or pus. If these occur, or if you experience fever, seek medical attention promptly, as you might need antibiotics. Continue observing the area for several days and change dressings regularly. Avoid sealing the wound with an airtight bandage, as it’s generally better for the wound to breathe a little. Also, if it was indeed a deep bite or if you’re immunocompromised, consulting a healthcare provider might offer added peace of mind. Avoid using heavy surfactants or irritants like strong detergents on the skin, as they can hinder healing. Instead, mild soap and water suffice. The management you’ve done so far is appropriate, but vigilance for any signs of worsening is key.
