According to statistics, children are the main victims of dog and cat bites. The consequences are severe injuries, especially to the head and neck of boys under 4 years old. Therefore, initial treatment and prevention of animal bites in children is very important.

Hi doctor! I was bitten by a cat with fangs on my leg (near the knee), now the wound caused by the cat bite is red and swollen, there is a burning sensation and sharp pain with each attack.

Animal bites can be dangerous. Bites can cause pain, infection, and in some cases can be very serious and even fatal. Therefore, knowing the first aid steps for animal bites can help the patient “escape death’s door”.

When being scratched or bitten by a dog/cat, many people are quite subjective and just clean the wound. However, in some cases, first aid is needed to avoid infection and future health effects.
