Spent the day at Urgent Care

Well the new cat bit me last night. Really hard. This morning red swollen hand a lot of pain.
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 :roll:

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 :D
Good thing you didn't wait to have it treated. Hope you feel better soon.
:ghug:
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. :wink:

Glad you're taking care of it so quickly! Hope you have a speedy recovery. :crossed:
Oh my... sorry that happened Lisa!! Hope it's a little better today.
Hope you are better Lisa. :ghug:
Yikes. I hope you're doing a lot better today.
