Jake scratched my knee pretty badly, I was sitting cross legged talking on my cell phone and according to him, sitting cross legged is an invitation to play hide and seek, for example, here: (this was taken a while ago but you get the idea)
So today he jumped at me and latched onto my knee with his claws this time. I freaked out because it hurt and screamed which probably made it worse because he pushed himself away quickly, scared...
If you want to see my scratch, I look a picture of it lol
But, be warned, graphic picture with blood on my scratch, if you don't want to see that don't click on this link
He didn't even know he did something wrong, he was looking at me as I was dressing my wound and wanted to play with the medical tape
I put some rubbing alcohol on it with some of those antibiotic gels that come in a first aid kit..do you think I need to do something else??
Today was not the best of days, it's been pouring all day, and on top of that during my commute to school I threw up due to a reaction to a new antibiotic I've been taking
Nothing worse than driving and throwing up...
But I'm not complaining, things could be a lot worse..
Do you think the scratch could get infected?
Sorry, this thread is just all over the place...
But, I partly blame soft paws for Jake scratching me- only one of his claws had a missing cap on it and that's the claw that scratched me- I think he gets used to not being able to do much with his nails when he has soft paws on and then isn't careful anymore even if one is missing...:idk:
