Treatment for cat bite apart from tetanus shot and peroxide?
Patient: I was bitten by my cat.  He gave me 4 puncture wounds in my forearm.  I rinsed it with cold water and ran peroxide on it.  I put ozonol and a gauze over it.  I haven't had a tetanus shot for quite a while.  Aside from getting a shot, which I will tomorrow, is there anything else I should do? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,As you were bit by a cat over the forearm, which has led to punctured wounds.As the cat also has all the potential to transmit rabies, which is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable. You should not ignore this and you should take appropriate and complete treatment.I would suggest you to follow1.Washing the wound under running water with soap2.Inj Tetanus toxide3.Antirabies vaccine, intramuscular on to deltoid on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.4.Antirabies serum or rabies immunoglobulins (RIGs) in and around the wound5.Course of antibiotics.This treatment is most and forget to take all the dose of antirabies vaccines on to your deltoid (shoulder).Thank you.
