Hello all,
My neighbor has recently gotten a new kitten. She rescued this baby from the pound who has been an absolute wonderful addition to her life. Yesterday, though, she received a bite from her and you'd think this was the worst of all possible wounds she could have received. Now, granted a cat bite is considered one of the worst bites you can get second only to a human one I think, but really is it necessary to run off to your nearest doctor to receive anti-biotic meds each time this happens. I'm just curious how you all handle those occasions when you may get bitten. Do you head off to your local health care person or do you keep certain antiseptic sprays etc for those times.
Thanks so much for your opinions and suggestions.
