Some of you may remember this thread from two years ago. Well, he got me again. This time he got my finger on the other hand. I was getting knots out of his fur when he clamped down on the finger (the one you use to tell people they're number one laugh out loud) and when he tried to release and turned his head to jump down, his teeth were stuck in my finger, he couldn't let go. But since he turned his head, he wound up tearing the puncture wounds open even more. Sick

The top joint of my finger is red and swollen. However, I don't see how it could be infected this time, as by tearing the flesh sideways, he made the puncture wounds larger and they bled profusely for about 10 minutes. I applied tons of Bactine spray and then Neosporin to it as well. This happened about six hours ago and so far, the swelling and redness is limited to that top finger joint. So should I go to the after hours clinic or do you think it will be ok?

Just got back from the urgent care clinic. The doctor had to drain the bites. Not fun and hurt like crazy. She also took a culture just to make sure the antibiotic she gave me will cover this bacteria. Thankfully the vicodine is kicking in, so most of the pain is gone for the moment. Antibiotics for 10 days and I have to soak the finger in epsom salts four times a day.

The only reason I didn't go right away is that it bled so much I didn't think it would get infected.

You ever try taking a pic of your right hand with a big heavy camera which has the button on the right side?

I'm glad zoe is not dieded, because my thread is slow enough as it is with mostly just the two of us.

hug I didn't know cat bites could be so serious. My cat bites me all the time, but it has never been real deep.
