Hi experts ,
I don't know whether it is right to post this question here . If it is a wrong place , please kindly let me know where can I seek for help .
It's just about 5 hours ago , I found a stray cat near my company , where is a very rare area in Shanghai , China . It seems lovely and I just touch it , he accepted .I don't know why but I try to hug it , and again try to bring it to my office , when go into the office , he is scared and crazy , unluckly I was scratched on my hand , no bite , but there is 3 wounds on my hand , blood can be found and of course my skin broken .
I went to the hospital and inject vaccinum after 3.5 hours . Of course I will follow the doctor's advice to finish other several injuction .
I was very scared what's the change to be inflected by rabies after that . The doctor didn't provide a antibody test , because he think it too rare to check whether one will generate the rabies antibody . Is that correct ? What should I do ?
How are you? It is good that you were able to go to the hospital immediately after the cat scratched your hand. If there is risk of rabies, it is possible to prevent rabies if immunization is given soon after the bite. Follow the prescribed vaccine schedule as prescribed and observe the animal also for the next 2 weeks. Take care and do keep us posted
