Patty, so sorry to hear Barbi is having to go thru this. I have seen so many cases like this in ortho trauma. I am praying that if they have to do and I and D that the kitten's bite did not piece into the joint space!
If so she may need long term Iv antibiotics at home. I work with some awesome hand specialist. Dont be afraid to ask if one is available!
Take care
