Everyone loves small animals, and now many people in society like to keep small dogs, after all, dogs are our most loyal companions. But as the number of dog owners increases, there will inevitably be a phenomenon of walking dogs outside in daily life. Dogs also need freedom and cannot be kept in cages forever. There will also be certain risks involved, such as being bitten by a dog? Where do people get rabies vaccine?
Where do people get rabies vaccine
1. Go to the hospital and ask. There are designated epidemic prevention hospitals that clean wounds with soap and running water. If you are bitten or scratched by a cat or dog, getting vaccinated against rabies within 24 hours is effective. Go to the hospital as soon as possible and do not delay the best treatment time. After getting vaccinated, do not engage in vigorous activities or eat spicy food. Please ask the doctor for details.
2. Wounds should not be bandaged or sewn, and open wounds should be exposed as much as possible. If the wound must be bandaged and sutured, such as invading large blood vessels, it should be ensured that the wound has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and anti rabies serum has been used according to the above method.
Contraindications for administering rabies vaccine
1. There are no contraindications for injecting rabies vaccine. As rabies is a fatal disease, the mortality rate after onset is almost 100%. So far, there is still no effective treatment method in the world. So, anyone who is bitten by a rabies dog or an animal that is unclear whether it is infected with the virus should be immediately vaccinated against rabies. Pregnant women who are bitten should also receive timely and full course rabies vaccination.
2. After being bitten or scratched by animals such as dogs, cats, wolves, etc., as long as the skin is indeed not bitten, it is difficult for rabies virus to invade the body through intact skin. However, if there are bite marks on the skin, one cannot be careless.
I hope everyone can avoid risks while enjoying small animals. They cannot communicate in human language and may engage in extreme behavior under the teasing of strangers. But as the owner, you should tie a leash when walking your dog, and as a passerby, you should not tease or provoke small animals, and maintain a safe distance. After being bitten by a dog, it is important to seek medical attention and get vaccinated at a designated location as soon as possible. Consider your own physical health.
