Reporting in, or LOL kitty made me sad #########Just got home from the ER - post 62######### (((((new photo post 83)))))

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?

after 6 hours?

what kind of crazy ass kitty-virus do you think you have contracted?

H2O2 + Neosporin + Band Aid like thearteest said. If it is still red and swollen in a few days go to the doc and get some antibiotics, or just rub some dirt on it.

Just remember, you all asked for a photo.







































This actually looks a lot better than it did a few hours ago and you can't really see the swelling from this angle.

Woke up at 3 with my finger hurting almost as much as it was when I went to the urgent care clinic and it looks about as swollen as it did then. The doctor said if it's not better within 24 hours, I must go to the emergency room. Hope it doesn't come to that. Frown

Yeah, that's what it was. After soaking it for a while in warm
water with epsom salts, more gunk came out of it with a little squeezing.
