Bad girl!
Last night after 9PM EST I was sitting with Abby in my lap giving her a good scritch in a place on her lower neck that she was enjoying when all of a sudden she seized a hold of my lower wrist and bit. Now this isn't unusual for her to be bitey, but in the past when she has 'bitten' it was more like a pinch, it would hurt but the skin would not be broken. She had my wrist in her mouth and she had her claws in me and I told her to let go and pulled back but not quickly. Well that got her all the more worked up and she attacked the top and bottom of my wrist with vigor and bit D-O-W-N and shook my wrist like it was food. She did this twice and she grabbed a hold again with her claws. After that it was all over. I mean this took all of 20 seconds if that. I was trying to minimize the damage without getting hurt, well I got hurt anyway. I mean it really hurt, and I'm sure any of you who have been bitten known what I'm saying. I went in and immediately cleaned up the wounds with alcohol and then some bedadine. But it really hurt through the night I could not stand anything to touch it. This morning when I got up it was swollen, inflamed and really hurting. So I called the doctor and they saw me right away. They all told me that anytime you have a cat bite seek medical attention. As you will see if you wish to look below at the two images my Doctor drew some lines around the two areas and said if the inflammation goes beyond that point GO TO THE ER! So she said she was putting me on some very strong antibiotics and I should see a decrease perhaps as early as tomorrow. So, I just wanted to let efurryone know that I will be a little slow on making many comments over the weekend. If you are squeamish do not look at the two pictures down below.
