[|Human|] hi my cat (who is fully vaccinated) bit me hardly on the finger beside my thumb last sunday, it was fully swollen which has decreased a lot now, but it is still numb which is making me worried, what should i do? i live in a country where the emergency room refused to admit me when they knew it s a cat bite
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forums. If the cat bite produced tear in your skin or blood has come out, then you have to take the anti Rabies vaccination and tetanus vaccination. Even if the cat is fully immunized, you have to take it because there is no effective treatment for Rabies virus right now. So don't take the risk. Don't approach the emergency department for the vaccination. There are Rabies clinics available as a separate department especially in medical colleges. Hope this discussion will be helpful to you. Have a great day
