It was a bad bite on my hand near the thumb and I went to the doctor right away and he gave me antibiotics, but within 12 hours I had to go to ER. The toxins got into my blood stream, like blood poisoning and the swelling was spreading up my arm. They gave me an IV and sent me home, but it kept swelling so when I went back they admitted me. If it had spread for enough it could have killed me. It can also cause severe inflammation in teh tendons if the lining of the tendon is broken.
Several months later the same groomer who watched Caesar and Lucy got bit by a cat she was grooming and she ended up in the hospital for three days.
It's why a lot of groomers refuse to groom cats. |
so sorry to hear that..maybe that's why I don't like cats..
