POLL: HELP! I got bit and scratched badly by a stray cat! (it's a new cat I just got, that got out, then I TRIED to catch!)

lady had worms in her boob from a cat scratch. was on an episodes of monsters inside me from years and years ago.

worm boobies

do you wear multiple masks as well???

Anyway, good luck Butch, and try not to worry, I'm sure you'll be fine especially with those antibiotics.

Apparently 'you' are - Bold and yelling....just sayin'

Got them while collecting zinnia and cosmos seeds in my overgrown garden. I live in the jungle, so it is already spider heaven, but the flowers definitely add to the insect problem If I had access to a bath tub, I would have done the epsom soak. I did use bentonite clay to draw out the poisons, which I tend to do for severe bites. I usually mix the turmeric with the clay and then trow in some essential oils for good measure. (Can't be too safe!)

The turmeric is ground and in a jar. I like to use fresh turmeric for tea. but the paste needs powder. I have used curry mix in a pinch.

To get rid of the puss/infection, place a green or black tea bag on the wound and move the bag every 15 minutes. It draws out the infection.

Here is a good site that talks about essential oils and spider bites. I have lavender/myrrh/frankincense in a bottle in my purse, bathroom and jungle casita, just in case.

Cat bites are bad news. Clean with hydrogen peroxide and spread it open as much as possible. I've had a few from catching barn cats that needed something. And once on a case of mistaken identity...But that's a story I don't feel like getting into atm.

You MAY need antibiotics, but you don't HAVE to have antibiotics. Just depends on if it gets infected or not. But you need to keep it clean and make sure it doesn't get infected.

Soaking in Epsom salts will also help tremendously. 15 to 20 minutes maybe 3 times a day. If you have colloidal silver, start doing that immediately, too.

Hope it's not too bad. My last one the fang hit right on a bone and it swelled up badly.

best wishes!

Why do you have to be such an asshole? Do you work at it or does it come naturally?

Tetanus is a potentially deadly disease that can infect puncture wounds like the bite of an animal. I think most docs would recommend one JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE but it probably isn't necessary in Butch's case. It's a safe vaccine, I'm virulently anti-vax but I've taken it with no effects and I've never heard of any with it. A booster shot every few years is a good idea especially if someone travels abroad.

As for masks, I prefer my WW2 gas mask. It's a fashion statement.

Wash with green soap and water.
It herts like hall but will clean the scratches.
Then put honey on it. Cold pressed honey with all the nutrients.

Rinse/repeat next day.

Or just take yor covid schot and STFU

Don't be a wussy, put a little hydrogen peroxide on it lol.

na some antiseptic etc ! same me new cat escaped got scratched by many cats in my life

I almost forgot..... bite the mother fucker back. I did this to my pit and he found some respect for me lol.

He starts acting stupid, I just smile and chomp my teeth a few times and he gets outta doge!!!!

Betadine is your best friend right now. I helped a cat with its leg stuck in the fence and paid the price. Very deep bite wounds and scratches. I just cleaned it out good and in a few weeks I was healed.

Lol I was bitten and scratched up pretty bad by a feral cat a few months ago called my doctor to see if I needed to come in and he didn't even call me back. I washed it really well and poured some alcohol on it and I think I lived.

Agree with the Tetanus shot being basically safe.

I worked as a residential painter in new and remodel homes and I stepped on a rusty nail from a ripped out board at a remodel that totally pierced my foot bottom to top. Got a shot cuz well, it was very necessary. and yeah went from sneakers to boots on those kind of jobs. I'm smart enough to learn that lesson.lol

White people be kissing they cats and dogs on the lips. Nasty.

I love cats, but also recognize feral and other stray cats can be dangerous and carry diseases.

I would clean and dress the wounds using antiseptic, ointment, and gauze bandages.

Would also visit my local clinic in the morning during regular hours to get the wounds examined.

No need to rush to the ER, but if you have medical insurance, visit your local clinic to get this checked out.

Tell us about the cat that attacked you. Was it feral? Did it have any noticeable wounds or behaviors?

If it was feral, I would definitely visit the clinic in the morning.

Thanks blue State rebel!
If you want a free cat, you can have it!

my friends mother had her finger amputated because of a feral cat she was trying to feed bit her

It was my cat, it was vaccinated for rabies, I only had the cat about 3 days and it got out, so I tried to catch it and got bit and scratched. Oops!

What is green soap?

He was just scared, I have rescued so many strays I could not think of counting. I have been scratched and bitten 100s of times. Never went to dr. Very rare for cat to have rabies

Ohhh yup. that was something I was going to point out at the beginning of the thread. Not only the viciousness but the paralysis of the limbs. I saw it on the 'North Woods Law' show. But rabies isn't an issue for OP. He clearly stated so.

Iodine, then antibiotic ointment, and you could take some colloidal silver. You usually know if something is getting infected by whether or not it starts to turn pink or red around the wound. Hopefully you clean it right away and put antibiotic ointment and iodine. That's usually what I do and I am immuno suppressed so I have to be super careful. But it does work if you are proactive.

why inject your pussy cat with rabies!!?¿? first do now harm?

Obviously you do care - ya want to know about his next bowel movement.

You - are a sick person. Please stay in the basement.

We would all appreciate it.

Longest incubation period is eight years.
