What a big sigh of relief to hear how well your arm is healing.

Maybe you should keep a record of the name of the antibiotic and the strength of it, for future use. If, and I pray that's a big IF, you ever need to take an antibiotic again, you can let them know the reaction you got from these one, to avoid getting them again.

I had a bad reaction also to some antibiotics and when I needed them again, I mentioned to the doctor the effect they had on me and he changed the strength and the type also.

I'm glad to hear that your precious Caramel is doing well. Maybe you should speak to your neighbour about keeping their dog on a leash.
Afterall, your cat has a right to enjoy the outdoors just as much as her dog does. You shouldn't have to stay inside, for fear of this happening again.

Take care

Have you seen these enclosed pet strollers? It would let you take Caramel for walks but she'd be easier to protect from dogs. Just a thought.

Glad you're better.

Thanks for caring guys, It is really something how everyone tried to help and gave their support! It makes me feel really cared for, you guys are all great

That is how it is here, that is why we all love it so!

BUT, we really were concerned because of how serious a cat bite is and we just didn't want to loose a new PT family member! I am so glad you are doing better and it is on it's way to healing. That was scarey! Like I said before, now YOU can help the next person with your experience on cat bites. When our vet told my daughter to tell me to get to a doctor, I took his word for it and did as he said!

I was thinking about the big dog, too - and how maybe you should report that the dog is off his chain often. Are there ordinances in your area? If you can't speak to the family directly, maybe you could just speak to the authorities. It isn't right for someone to ignore safety laws - I know that I have been badly bitten by dogs, and I am wary of dogs off leashes, so I am very sympathetic to your situation. I think that dog owners should realize that their dogs can be a possible threat to others - even if they don't think so.

The dogs owners are kinda friends of the family's and I would really not know what to say in a way that wouldn't maybe offend them. The dog is usually on his leash but he breaks his chain all the time and always comes over here for some reason. There is no law or anything around here about dogs on leashes or anything and the dog hasnt bit anyone so really all I could do is talk to the owners. She seems like a good dog but she is big and still a pup so she isnt trained at all. Maybe I should talk to them about it, I think I will.
