    When catching stable cats for spaying and such one bit me so bad I only have one hand that works properly. I'll see you when the swelling's down and I have use of my hand again. It's the right one, of course. The one I use the most.

    Oh dear Droopy, sorry to hear that, hope you are not out of action for too long.
    Lesson to be learned I think.....wear strong gloves in future ;)

    I hope you took a trip to the doctors Droopy as cat bites can lead to infection and we don't want you off line for too long. Take care of that hand and we'll see you back here soon. :-D

    Oh, I hope you aren't gone for long. Animal scratches can be dangerous, especially from stable cats. I hope your swelling goes quickly. We'll send good thoughts and prayers your way. dooley

    What Eileen said!--No fooling about now, do you hear?
    I hope that you had that bite evaluated right away.
    Depending upon the depth of the bite and where it was located prophylactic antibiotics can be given. If they are deemed necessary then beginning the regimen the sooner the better is the wisest...you don't want an infection to take hold.
    This is pretty alarming news, I hope that hand gets better really soon.

    You are the dearest group online! *hugs all around* I had to pop in and read a bit, but writing is so slow I get annoyed! :D I've had check-up and just need time. At least we've got nearly everything sorted now, only one more cat to go. Somebody else can take care of that. I've done my share for now.
