I'm Learning Something New About CATS Every Single Day!

I'm Learning Something New About CATS Every Single Day! | WHAT I'M LEARNING TODAY; Swelling and pain after a cat bite require prompt attention, as these are common signs of infection due to bacteria (like Pasteurella) being injected deep into tissues by sharp, needle-like teeth; Immediately wash the area with soap and warm water. Seek medical care if the bite is deep, on the HANDS/joints, or shows signs of infection (INCREASING PAIN, SWELLING, REDNESS, PUS, OR FEVER); HEADED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM | image tagged in memes,emergency alert,cat bites,infection,freakin cats,knowledge is power | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Helpful tip garnered from working with scared/feral/ wild animals: fill one of these with peroxide, jam it into the puncture and flush *hard | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Irrigation syringes can be a literal lifesaver.

I was up all night draining it but I fell asleep around 4 this morning and it sealed. Ugh! I know I should have gone last night but I've had wounds that healed too quickly that had to be ripped open again before. OMG! That hurts. I've got one heck of an immune system that believes in instant healing. Sounds great until your oral surgeon has to cut your gums open again because it healed too fast.

Thank you for the helpful tip though. That was very kind of you!! 🫵👍❤️

My son had a long series of surgeries back in the day. I learned a lot about drainage and irrigation... and oh so much more.
