Step 1: Wash the wound
Wash the wound immediately with soap and warm water. Scrub the area for several minutes to remove saliva and bacteria from the cat bite.
第一步:清洗傷口
馬上用肥皂和溫水清洗傷口。將傷口區域用力擦洗幾分鐘,以便洗去貓咬帶來的唾液和細菌。
Tip:Don’t scrub too hard, but be thorough. While it may be painful, an infection is even worse.
小貼士:清洗時不要太用力,但要徹底。這樣做可能會感到疼痛,但要是感染了會更痛。
Step 2: Follow with an antiseptic
Rinse all the soap from the wound and then follow with a good antiseptic such as iodine or hydrogen peroxide.
第二步:用消毒液擦拭
將傷口上的肥皂沖洗掉,用好的消毒液比如碘酒或過氧化氫這類的消毒液。
Step 3: Apply pressure
Apply firm pressure to the puncture marks from the cat’s teeth to stop any bleeding. Keep the wound elevated to prevent the wound from swelling.
第三步:用力按
用力按被貓牙刺穿的地方來止血。要將傷口抬起以防傷口膨脹。
Step 4: Cover with gauze
Cover the bite with an antibiotic ointment and then wrap it in clean gauze once the bleeding has stopped. Apply clean bandages at least twice a day until healing starts.
第四步:用紗布包扎傷口
將傷口處涂上抗生素軟膏,等止血后用干凈的紗布包上。每天至少換2次紗布直到傷口開始愈合。
Tip:A tetanus booster or rabies vaccine may be needed if the animal is a stray. Animal bites in humans can be deadly.
小貼士:如果咬你的動物是在野外生活的,可能得需要防止破傷風的藥物或打狂犬疫苗。動物咬的傷口可能致命。
Step 5: See a doctor
See a doctor if things get worse. Have a baby or small child checked out, even if the bite is minor. Swift action will make any pet bite less traumatic and painful.
第五步:去看醫生
如果情況惡化就要去看醫生。如果嬰兒或小孩被咬了,即使傷口很小,也要去看醫生。被寵物咬后立刻行動能減少創傷和疼痛。
