Got bit by a stray kitten
Hi Dr, I got bit by a stray kitten this morning when feeding it. The wound is a shallow one just like needle prick. But my finger bleeds a little and I treat it by washing with soap and water before putting on some yellow lotion. May I know if I need to go to the doctor for further treatment such as getting a vaccine injection for tetanus or rabies?
