No good deed goes unpunished. I went to a friend's house yesterday afternoon to trim the hind feet claws on 2 cats. Should have remembered that front declawed cats bite. Did one foot on one cat who then growled and bit my left forearm really hard.
Somewhat swollen and painful 5 hours later. Visited the doctor this morning and now - since I cannot tolerate amoxycillin - am on metronidazole 3x / day and doxycycline 2X / day for the next 10 days. Plus a tetnus shot since my last vaccine was more than 5 years ago.
The pharmacist said to call the doctor if no improvement in 24 hours . Regardless, I have an appointment for Monday morning but could come in on Sunday if I need to do so.
All because I was trying to spare the cats a trip to the V-E-T.
So I'd appreciate it if you have any sympathetic, healing thoughts to send my way. TIA
