Cat bite... from Ally Cat TWICE!! #33

[momcat]

I'm so sorry to hear of Ally trying to use your hand as a snack! Darvocet is quite a powerful medication, it sure knocked me on my butt after hand surgery a few years ago. Medications usually take awhile to kick in so please give it a chance? And please don't take ANY other medication for the pain until you talk to your doctor to avoid the risk of drug interaction. The last thing I want is for your situation to be any worse than it already is. Have you considered talking Ally's behavior over with your vet? Might not be a bad idea to find out if there's a physical problem going on causing her to bite like that. Poor Ally, prayers being prayed that Ally will settle in, calm down, and become your velcro-kitty. Prayers are being prayed for your swift and complete recovery!

Poor thing. I am glad you went to the E.R. It was the best thing. I am sure you will heal nicely, but it will take time. I am sorry she bit you. I wonder what she was thinking? Maybe she had a flash back of something bad when you where holding her. So weird. I am glad you are okay though....well so to speak.

For the pain - definitely keep it elevated as much as possible. Alternate tylenol and aspirin every 2 hours - will help with inflammation.

Do you have an ice pack - or bag of frozen peas or corn? Use that on your hand to reduce swelling.

It will feel better tomorrow.

The ER doc told me to use heat.... and warm compresses. I thought that was odd. The heat anyway, not the compresses.

the elevation thing is a pain in the butt cause my upper arm hurts from the stupid tetanus shot, lol.

Heat can be used up to 72 hours after an injury.
