blah i dont know lol that is what it said on the show where the animal control go and take the pets being mistreated and this guy had a whole bunch of cats and they said they had to wear thick gloves getting them into the box because soemthing about their bites are toxic maybe this is what they were talking about let me look it up Microbiology: Wounds are ususally polymicrobial. Pasteurella multicoda is a gram negative aerobe found in more than 50% of cat bite wounds. It typically causes a cellulitis which develops in less than 24 hours and may cause fever and purulent discharge i know that i had a cat one time that was bit by a male cat (she was in heat) and the hole started out as a little hole like a tooth mark and it spread open super fast. |
Deep puncture wounds are of particular concern because cats have long, slender, sharp teeth. When the hand is bitten, bacteria can get into the tissue that surrounds the bones or into a joint and result in osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) or septic arthritis (infection of the joint). i guess its the bacteria in their mouths. |

I'd take her to the doc ASAP. That looks like a spider bite, and those can be pretty serious:( Hugs to her and you!:girl_hug: |
My brother had one that looked like that on his leg once, when we where little... mark it with a pen. If it gets ANY bigger try to POP it. It could be a brown recluse bite. |

Wow!... That looks wicked...I'm real curious what caused that , waiting for the update also....hope it's something minor for her.... |
looks like a spider bite .. but whenever i get a mosquito or spider bite, they all swell up that huge (i am really allergic to them) i just took some benedryl (sp?) or some kind of allergy medicine to get the histamine levels down and swelling down. once i had a mosquito bite that got so big it made my whole forearm swell ...:confused: |
well we went to 2 doctors and neither of them knew what kind of bite it is, only that it looks infected. they put her on augmentin and said that if it is not getting better in 2 days to come back. |

Looks like a spider bite! I was about to write: "get her to the VET asap!". Oh my. |
my son gets allergic reations to mosquito bites and they swell up like that and he has to be on antibiotics too. also likje mentioned before take a pen and draw around the circle so if it is getting bigger you know and also if it goes otside the first ring draw another one and put a time on it and keep doing it everytime it goes outside the lines. i hope she feels better soon i know how miserable my son is when he gets those too. he swells up just like that one time it looked like he had a baseball in his arm:( it could be a spider bite or any of the other bites but i just wanted to let you know that allergic reactions to mosquito's look like that too. |
