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:清洗伤口
马上用肥皂和温水清洗伤口。将伤口区域用力擦洗几分钟,以便洗去猫咬带来的唾液和细菌。
Tip:Don’t scrub too hard, but be thorough. While it may be painful, an infection is even worse.
小贴士:清洗时不要太用力,但要彻底。这样做可能会感到疼痛,但要是感染了会更痛。
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
将伤口上的肥皂冲洗掉,用好的消毒液比如碘酒或过氧化氢这类的消毒液。
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
用力按被猫牙刺穿的地方来止血。要将伤口抬起以防伤口膨胀。
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:用纱布包扎伤口
将伤口处涂上抗生素软膏,等止血后用干净的纱布包上。每天至少换2次纱布直到伤口开始愈合。
Tip:A tetanus booster or rabies vaccine may be needed if the animal is a stray. Animal bites in humans can be deadly.
小贴士:如果咬你的动物是在野外生活的,可能得需要防止破伤风的药物或打狂犬疫苗。动物咬的伤口可能致命。
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:去看医生
如果情况恶化就要去看医生。如果婴儿或小孩被咬了,即使伤口很小,也要去看医生。被宠物咬后立刻行动能减少创伤和疼痛。
