Once bitten by a cat or dog, whether it is a mad dog, a sick cat, or a normal dog or cat, all need to be vaccinated against rabies and the wound needs to be treated correctly and quickly. First, squeeze the wound hard yourself, try to squeeze out all the dirty blood, and then immediately rinse the wound thoroughly. When washing a wound, one must be fast and seize every second to quickly wash away any rabies virus that may have been contaminated on the wound.
Because over time, the virus enters human tissues and invades the central nervous system along the nervous system, killing people; The second is to be thorough. Due to the fact that wounds bitten by cats and dogs often have a small outer opening and a deep inner opening, it is necessary to expand the wound as much as possible during flushing to fully expose it, and apply force to compress the soft tissue around the wound. The amount of water used for flushing should be large and the water flow should be rapid; The third is that the wound cannot be bandaged.
Except for individual wounds that are large and require hemostasis to damage blood vessels, no medication is generally administered and no bandages should be applied, as the rabies virus is anaerobic and can grow in large quantities in the absence of oxygen. After repeated flushing of the wound, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further wound flushing treatment.
