Safeguarding the health and safety of pets

Domestic dogs that do not come into contact with wild dogs outside generally do not carry rabies virus. If they are not scratched or bitten by dogs, they do not need to be vaccinated, as long as they are vaccinated. However, if you are bitten by a dog, you must get a rabies vaccine in time. It is recommended to vaccinate in time within 24 hours of being bitten by a dog.

Precautions for the owner to be bitten by a dog:

1. After being bitten by a dog, immediately wash the wound with 20% soapy water and tap water alternately for more than 20 minutes, and at the same time forcefully squeeze out the blood from the wound and surrounding tissues.

2. If the bite is serious and you cannot handle it yourself, you need to go to the hospital for cleaning and disinfection, and infiltrate and inject rabies immune globulin around the wound.

3. Then go to the CDC or community hospital for rabies vaccination. Do not drink alcohol or strong tea during the vaccination period.

4. In terms of diet, you can eat more milk, eggs and other foods, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

5. Pay attention to skin care at the inoculation site, keep it dry and clean to avoid infection.
