We know that most animals are human friends, so more and more people now choose to raise pets, but if they are accidentally bitten by animals, especially kittens and dogs at home, even if they are clean, they still have to go to the hospital for a check-up just in case.

In fact, for animal bites, if the wound is deep, even for domestic pets, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment. If you are bitten by an animal, the first thing you need to do is to stop the bleeding, squeeze blood from the inside out and try to squeeze out the blood inside. Second, continuous use of running water for rinsing, or repeated use of soap to scrub it. Especially for bites, it can neutralize toxins and reduce the spread and damage of toxins. This is also very important. Usually, after 10 to 20 minutes of washing, bandage, then go to the hospital to find a doctor for treatment, and use tetanus and antibiotics according to the situation. If you have iodine wine and iodine at home, you can also rinse it in one turn and further disinfect it to keep the wound clean and not contaminated.

Once you are caught by a pet, we must not be lucky and think that it is not a big problem to seep some blood. In fact, the danger lies in it. As long as you are scratched or bitten by cats and dogs at home or animals outside, you should get rabies vaccine as soon as possible, which is more safe.
