Thanks for all for your replies !!
i did below things !!
i went to hammed hospital after 6 hours of bite , they identified it as a superficial bite and gave me tetanus injection, they suggested me to take 2 dose one after one month another after 5 months, now i am doing well at the moment, i walked along with my cat to qatarvet center and had a rabies vaccination for my cat !! again thanks to acchabaccha,sajisithara,mary c... .
A person bitten by an animal potentially carrying rabies virus should consult a physician immediately. Those who have been bitten by an animal may also develop bacterial infections which can become life-threatening if untreated, whether or not the animal has rabies virus.You will have to take a Tetanus Toxin & ARV on days 0,3,7,14,28,90 IM on deltoid region.You may contact me 66255677. Dr.Saji Mohammed,Focus Medical Centre,Doha.Mean while,Leave the wound open,wash it with water,if bleeding keep the wound area elevated.
Mary Catherine: Any adult who could place such a post at QL should definitely be having the basic knowledge of first aid on how to handle such situations. However, if a person was of a very sensitive nature or had any doubts of infection, he would not have waited to post such a problem at QL and then wait for hours for answers from QLers most of whom are laymen and not qualified physicians. He would have rushed to Hamad Hospital or the nearest clinic near his residence. I guess you failed to understand the "real" meaning behind this post. The other people who posted their comments did.
Is it your cat and does it have all the recommended vaccinations? No problem. A street cat may transfer some non fatal infections. Are you feeling ill? Is the bite area swollen? then go to the doctor. Otherwise, clean the area carefully and monitor it. Why are people so ill informed here? Dr. Google can be your friend. Just basic animal knowledge also helps.
I'd be more worried if my friend's 2 year old daughter bit me and drew blood (so long as she wasn't feral)
Why are people so uninformed here? W
Good. You can soon realize you have 9 lives. WOW!
