This is about human health, but cat related - hope that's ok!
Bruce was playing with his crinkly tunnel last night and my hand got in the way, and I have a couple of scratches, including one quite deep one along the side of my thumbnail.
I rinsed it well, applied Germolene and put a plaster on overnight, but it is still really painful this morning. I don't mean to exaggerate - it is only a tiny puncture wound that hardly bled - but the area looks a bit red, and it is really sore when any pressure is put on it.
Should I be worried? I had a tetanus jab about 8 years ago. Or shall I just stop being a wimp and put up with it?
