So I decided to give my cat a bath last night so I use the handheld shower and we both get into the tub and I rinse him down with warm water as he's trying to crawl up my body to get away I keep telling him everything's fine and and we get almost to the end of rinsing the soap out and I can see that he's looking for something to bite because he has just about had it,he's all done! he's biting at the hand held shower as I'm trying to rinse the soap off of him and my thumb gets a Lil to close to his mouth somehow ,and I see it in slow motion as he bites through me & the blood is just everywhere.... so I clean it it's very painful I wake up this morning to notice there's a hole in the bottom of my thumb as well, so now it's a full right through puncture wound Lots of pain can barely move my thumb and my boss doesn't seem to think it's a big deal and wants me to go to work today! (I'm bartender ) this outta be fun.... ( yes I'm aware I did a lot of run on sentences and did not use any exclamation points , As I should have but I was speaking this through my phone and it does not do those things for you. SO I'm aware I just thought I'd share my story with the world)..
Hi Guest,
Your boss is WRONG. Cat bites ARE a big deal.
They can easily get infected. You NEED to see your doctor. You'll likely be put on antibiotics for 7-10 days.
Hope it helps.
