I don't know if this is the right place for this thread, but it seemed health related, so I put it here.
I was helping restrain a cat last night for a temp check, and someone decided to bring a big Rottweiler into the room. Of course, the cat didn't like it, and I received a few deep scratches from him.
This morning, the cat tested positive for roundworms. I know this is transferred by feces, and seeing as cats like to "cover" their messes, I'm not sure if I should be worried or not.
The scratches on my arm are just fine, but I have three on my stomach that are red, raised, and painful. What are the chances that I may have an infection or something worse? I assume its pretty slim, but I wanted to make sure.
thanks!
