Once bitten

Filed under: Cats, critters and other pets — dawn @ 2:22 am

For the past couple days I have had Whitesnake playing in my head…

On Wednesday, I was taking care of one of my foster cats, Dexter, when I was bitten. He is a very timid kitty, so I am not blaming him. I am very worried about Dex. He is very thin and not eating well. I have only had Dex here since Tuesday, and he has only been under observation for 2 weeks, so I know little of him or his history. He and I are under observation for the next couple weeks. Him, to be sure that he doesn’t have anything (read=rabies) and me, that the infection in my hand doesn’t get worse. It is kind of amazing how just a couple little teeth can cause so much damage.

Oh well, hopefully Dex and I will get through this ok.

Cat bites get infected so easily! Darn those puncture wounds. I hope you and he get better soon!

yes they do. Thankfully it isnt as bad as it could have been. I washed my hand and treated it as soon as I could and saw the doctor the next day. My hand is doing alot better today, the swelling is going down and it is not as painful
