Picking a cat, although it is cured, be careful.
Xiao Liu and Xiaoyue are a campus couple. After evening study, they walked on the school playground and met a leisurely "big orange".
There is no reason not to masturbate when you encounter a cat by chance. Both of them were cat petting enthusiasts, and they squatted down to have a "cordial exchange" with Daju. However, the orange cat seemed to be in a bad mood and was quite cold to the two of them. Suddenly, a barking came from a distance. The orange cat was frightened and instantly arched its body, turned its head and bit it on Xiaoyue's hand. Then it raised its paws and patted Xiao Liu's hand, kicked its feet, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Seeing the clear tooth marks on the fingers, Xiaoyue was immediately scared and lost her complexion. Xiao Liu was even more serious. The force of this scratch was not light, and the scars were visible to the naked eye, and blood began to seep in a short while.
The first time I encountered this situation, both of them were a little at a loss, but Xiao Liu quickly calmed down.
"I heard that being bitten by a cat is also at risk of rabies. Just in case, go to the hospital for a look." After the two of them treated the wound briefly, they rushed to the emergency dog injury clinic in the Wulin Campus of Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
After the injury assessment, both were diagnosed with tertiary exposure, at risk of rabies infection, and needed rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin injection.
As soon as the young couple left, a family of three came in, and the 3-year-old patient Tian Tian covered his left hand and cried. When asked, it was caused by a little hamster raised at home.
The little hamster looks well-behaved, but in fact he can bite people. "This hamster has always been very gentle, so I felt relieved to let my daughter hold it in my hand to tease it. Unexpectedly, my daughter was bitten by it when she was feeding it. Later, my wife reminded me that the consequences of being bitten by rats were very serious, so we hurried to the hospital." Dad Tian said regretfully.
Because the patient is too young, he needs to inject two vaccines, including rabies vaccines and immunoglobulin, and it is necessary to get 5 shots within one month to be considered a risk of disengagement.
Many children like to raise hamsters and look very well-behaved, but in fact, even the gentle hamsters will bite people and may also carry rabies virus, so parents should pay attention.
"March-April every spring is the peak period for dog injury clinics, mainly cats and dogs, and most of them are young and children. Some are bitten by stray cats and dogs and their own pets. Yesterday, 10 cases were treated in the outpatient clinic during the day. In the first half of the night, the number of patients suddenly increased, and 30 cases were received. A rough calculation shows that there are more than 40 cases a day." Dr. Li Xiongwei, a department of surgery, said, "Although there is a dog injury clinic written at the door, in addition to the conventional cat and dog scratches and bites, some strange animals have been treated in the outpatient clinic, such as mice, foxes, birds and even fish."
Spring is the estrus period of cats, dogs and other animals. At this time, their aggressiveness will also become stronger. In addition, the temperature in spring changes in spring, which can easily make pets irritable, and citizens' increasingly thin clothes make them more likely to be scratched and bitten by pets.
"Children are often targeted by cats and dogs because of their strong curiosity, especially those who suffer from facial and head injuries." Li Xiongwei said, "Parents must not let their children proactively provoke strange animals. Even their own pet cats or pet dogs should be careful. Do not disturb cats and dogs that are eating, sleeping or caring for their cubs. Do not use their hands directly when feeding animals. Do not touch them with their hands when they are irritable and restless. If they are bitten or scratched, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time."
