Hello, I had recently got bitten by a kitten and started bleeding. We found the kitten abanfoned by its mother, and brought him in the vet to get his shot. After that we came home and fed him food and I put someon my finger for him to lick off and accidentally bit me and I started to bleen! Do I need a doctor?
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, As you were bitten by the kitten following which there was a bleeding in your finger. Cat is also known to transmit rabies, which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. For your condition you need to take both antirabies vaccine and antirabies serum. Antirabies vaccine should be taken on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 to shoulder. Antirabies serum should be taken around the wound. In TT should be taken. A course of antibiotic should be taken to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Thank you.
