Starr Just Bit Me Very Hard!!!

[Laura's Babies]

When that cat at the shelter bit me, my vet got bittent he same day and he told Rie to tell me to get to a doctor NOW... whenever he gets bitten, he goes immdeiately. I took that advice. My bite was deep, she sunk her fangs all the way in, all 4 of them. I got a shot in the hip and meds for 10 days... No pain pills though and it hurt like the dickens where she bit me.

What is so bad about cats biting and breaking the skin(or is it just for outdoor cats?)

You missed the thread waaaaay back when CCL got bitten, that is when I learned how bad cat bites are. They are extreemly dangerous if they are deep.

Glad to hear that you were up-to-date on your tetanus shot, and the antibiotics should take care of any infection.

I think the severity of infection depends on not only how serious the wound is, but also the individual persons immune system and the location of the wound, not sure.
