Hello, just last night my mother got bit by a tiny kitten on her finger and a few scratches on her arms, she told me she couldn't sleep because of the pain on her finger. The bite on her finger in not very noticeable but her finger is now swelling up and just a bit red, her finger is still in pain and she can't move it because it hurts. What should we do? Is this a serious problem? Thanks
Hi Karla,
Cat bites can be serious, as can any injury the breaks the skin.
Did she wash it immediately after? How about apply an antiseptic?
If the swelling is great or she can't move the finger she should see her doctor.
