Re: Soon to be new guy
I didn't get tagged, we had a cat/snake situation. Cat came in while I wasn't looking, got grabbed, had to pry the snake off. I know prying their mouth off isn't good, but in a situation like that my kitty takes priority. So I've got a lot of scratches from the phatty's teeth all over my fingers! Also got a good puncture from kitty's tooth, which I had to go to the hospital for and get antibiotics. Fun fun!

Re: Soon to be new guy
Oh man! What a situation Glad you and kitty are OK and phatty is fine too. Super happy it wasn't a bite because phatty seems too sweet for that. Your poor finger but I guess it could have been A LOT worse. Thanks for sharing the story.

Re: Soon to be new guy
Yes, it could have been a lot worse! I hate to think about what would have happened if I wasn't RIGHT there, my poor Nugget. She got bit right on the chin, she's lucky it wasn't up higher, thankfully she is eating still, yummy wet food! It wouldn't have been so bad if it was a defensive bite, but clearly he was hungry and Nugget was getting too close to his face. Can't blame the animals, though. All my fault for not paying attention! But, in Phatty's defense, I recently switched him to every other week as opposed to every week, and yesterday would have been feeding day so he was hungry.

Re: Soon to be new guy
https://www.minnpost.com/second-opin...yo-study-finds Found this interesting read regarding cat bites... so far mine has not gotten better after 24 hours, the side of my finger with the punctures is redder than it was when I went to sleep (which by the way I got very little of due to the discomfort/pain). Hand is still swollen and hurts, still can't straighten or bend my ring finger. You can see the yellow at the puncture, so that pus sign of infection, and there's a weird blister on my finger.
The swollen part of my hand is actually red as well. All the swollen areas are also warm to the touch.
Reading that study makes me wonder if I'm going to need surgery on my hand, lol.

Re: Soon to be new guy
Gosh I never realized how serious a cat bite can be. Please keep a close eye on it and don't hesitate to go back to the hospital especially after reading that article! Thank gosh your little Nugget is alright and eating and seeming good after that traumatic experience <3

Re: Soon to be new guy
If the swelling and redness has not reduced, or it looks even worse, by tomorrow morning then I'm going to go back in! It's definitely not a nice feeling, that's for sure. I pretty well can't use that hand! If I hold it too low it hurts. Ugh So annoying. I'm trying to hold off from taking anything aside from the antibiotics, I don't like taking Tylenol or Advil or anything.. starting to think I'm fighting a losing battle in regards to that!
Thankfully the hospital is only a one minute walk away! Lol
