Did it get infected or something? What happened?
- danharaj 9y agoYou should always seek medical attention for a cat bite because the odds of a severe infection are high.
- arethuza 9y agoYes - I stupidly didn't think it looked that bad. I was borderline for my arm being operated on to clean out the infection - which was a bit alarming when I didn't expect to be admitted. The impact of the antibiotics was incredible - visible improvement within a couple of hours. Scary to think what could have happened if we didn't have access to working antibiotics!
- arethuza 9y agoA dog attacked one of our cats and when iredcued him he was do scared he bit by arm and wouldn't let go - took 5 mins to get him off. I didn't think it was that bad, but after nearly two days my arm was very red and I was feeling a bit ill. Popped to nearest NHS hospital expecting to. E told I was overreacting, but I was immediately admitted and put on IV antiobiotics (6 doses a day). Fortunately all fine and I'm going home today!
