Candace, yup been there, done that, and oh YEAH felt that way too!

First, physically: soak any and all the bites in the hydrogen peroxide. It draws out any bacteria which may have gone in with the tooth. Feel free to soak a second or even a third time, spaced out over say 24 hours, if need be.

Then, wrap it, put a bandaid on it, something to help w/healing. If you have Neosporin, put a bit of that on.

The tearing, that has 2 components, as I understand it. One is that the body has had a huge shock and the teariness is a part of that.

The other is, you feel a loss of trust in your own cat. How COULD he?! How DARE he? Can I pet him? Can I stroke him? What if I touch his feet? Do I dare? What if I rub his chin, will I even put my fingers that close to that suddenly HUGE POWERFUL MOUTH? For me, that part of lasted anywhere from 2 days to a week.

Try to hang on to the How DARE he part, as that is anger, which is better than the poor me side of it.

Do some things to comfort and console yourself, and / or to have some fun, get yourself smiling and laughing.

HUGS, my friend.
