Give pet injections is a process that every pet owner must go through, especially for cat owners, which may be more difficult. In addition to making the cat unbearable and uncooperative, there is another thing that may happen, that is, the needle is pierced into our fingers. What should we do at this time?
First, when the needle is pierced into our fingers, the wound should be treated as soon as possible. You can rinse the wound with running water, or disinfect it with alcohol or iodine to avoid infection. If the needle has been pulled out by us, stop the bleeding of the wound with clean gauze or cotton balls, and then bandage it with a breathable bandage. At the same time, keep the wound area dry to prevent bacterial infection.
Secondly, we should determine whether the needle has drilled into the deep tissue. If the needle penetrates deeper below the skin, it may damage the deep tissue. At this time, we must seek medical treatment in a timely manner, receive diagnosis and treatment from doctors, conduct further examinations and treatments, and avoid more serious consequences. If the wound already has symptoms such as swelling, pain, redness and swelling, you should go to the hospital in time to seek professional help.
Finally, to avoid re-incidence of needle injury, we can try the following measures:
First, prepare the equipment you need in advance to ensure that the injection process is as smooth as possible;
Second, pay special attention during the injection process, and do not let the pet move or bite dangerous behaviors;
Third, after the needle leaves the skin, keep the small skin on the fingers dry, and do not touch or rub it with your hands.
In short, when the needle is pierced into our fingers, we should not panic, and should be treated calmly in time to avoid wound infection and worsening. If the situation is serious, we must seek medical treatment in a timely manner and do a good job in subsequent treatment and nursing work. At the same time, we also need to strengthen the custody and supervision of pets to avoid harming us and ourselves.
