I mentioned on my first introduction post that I had recently dealt with a pretty nasty cat bite (my cat). It became infected - septic arthritis - and I had a surgery to clean it out and was in hospital for 4 days.
When I got bit I read the horror stories on google. But I figured those were the EXTREME cases. I did seek care within 24 hours. It was about 15 hours after the bite if I remember correctly. But even though I was on antibiotics, because of the swelling and because the joint capsule closes quick - they did not reach and infection festered.
I posted the bites - and then how my finger looks almost two months later.
