Thought I better go today, instead of risking being sick on Christmas. I got 2 shots, and have to take antibiotics for 10 days. They want to see me in 2 days. I have a red line traveling up my arm. That's where the concern is. Darn cat. I haven't kicked her out yet. But she's treading on thin ice. With me that is Lisa Frankie and Mattie |

I have been in your spot too, so I know exactly what you are going through!!!! My pet cat did this about 15 years ago. It's amazing how fast a cat bite infection will travel. I had the red line the next day, but never saw mine until the doctor in the ER showed it to me. I thought I would only get a tetanus shot and go home....wrong!!!! I spent 3 days in the hospital with mine. I have a hip replacement and I needed IV antibiotics with my cat bite. Ugh....it was painful too. |
Yep, if you have a replacement you are far more likely to have serious complications from an infection. Bet you take antibiotics before going in for a dental cleaning. DH doesn't understand the need, fortunately his wife does. Cat bites are nasty, hope the antibiotics kick in quickly. |
ouch. did they put a felt tip mark on the end of the red line so you can tell if it goes further? Hope you feel a bit better.xx |
Arrrggggg!!! I'm so sorry that happened Lisa, and hope you are feeling better this morning. Not being a cat fan in the least, this makes me feel all better about it. Maybe a few sheepie licks will make it all better |
Good thing you didn't wait to have it treated. Hope you feel better soon. |
I'm sorry. I hope you are feeling better soon. Cat scratch fever????? ::cue Ted Nugent:: |
Yep, it's not just a song Cat scratches and bites are most always a concern. Hope you heal up fast. |
Yep, I had cat scratch fever a number of years ago. I survived, and so did kitty. Glad you're taking care of it so quickly! Hope you have a speedy recovery. |
Oh my... sorry that happened Lisa!! Hope it's a little better today. |
Hope you are better Lisa. |
Yikes. I hope you're doing a lot better today. |
