    Kim,

    I got bit and put hydrogen peroxide on it immediately. This was on a Sunday. By Monday there was a light red stripe going up my right arm, from the bite site.

    I wound up in the emergency room. The doctor said had I waited another 8 hours and I'd be IN the hospital with an I.V. going. I was put on Augmentin and told to come back if there was a change. Fortunately, I didn't have to go through rabies shots.

    Don't take the chance Kim, get to the doctor. Better to be safe than sorry.

    ((((((HUGS)))))))))

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    Oh my god.... I feel so bad Kim!!!

    Wild Blossom is MY foster...

    I told Kathy she nips and gets over stimulated easily. She was with me for about 2 weeks, but NEVER bit me. Ugh. She was even to the point where I could hold her and cuddle her a bit. I wasn't sure if PS was going to be the place for her or not. I'm guessing not. Man oh man... and I have so many with me right now. This stinks. She was fine when she was out with the rest of my cats and could run around the house. She adored it! Maybe I can take her back and have Autumn put in there once her spay is healed up. She's gorgeous!!! I'll have to start a thread about her cause she's new too, lol.

    Kim, I'm sorry to hear that you were scratched and bitten but please get checked out by a doctor. I'd hate to hear that you ended up in the hospital over this. When Starr bit me in Dec. I called right away and was seen about 20 minutes later. I wasn't going to risk it and I was put on antibiotics. Please take care.

    Aw Jenn, I didn't mean to make you feel guilty! Everything looks WONDERFUL this morning. I can't even tell where she bit me, all I see are red scratch marks (wrapping around my whole wrist ) I heal REALLY fast and am amazed at how quickly these marks are receding. I still have an angry Pouncer scratch on my thmb (same hand) from 2 weeks ago that looks not too much more healed than Blossom's. Pouncer got me good 2 weeks ago but he was totally playing in a manner I know not to encourage but I was just so happy he was playing after being so sick.

    It must depend on the person and the cat that is biting. I've been bitten many times and Spunky loves to scratch. I've not had any issues that I know of. I do clean any serious wounds.

    Glad you are okay.

    I just feel bad that she is behaving so badly!!! Some cats are just not cut out for cages at PS. Maybe she just needs more time to socialize and behave in a foster home first??

    Glad it doesn't hurt too bad... I wonder if Kathy wants to take her out soon??
