Avatar m tn In my opinion, I think it was the Augmentin vs the Tetanus booster. Also, I think you are experiencing Labyrinthitis and need more testing than just an ENG and an MRI. Any medications ordered for the symptoms, i.e. Antivert, Phenergan?
Avatar m tn I live in an are of NJ in which Lyme Disease is not uncommon. I removed an intact tick from my left shoulder blade area about 8 months ago. I didn't develop a "bulls-eye" rash but in the center - where the tick had actually been attached - there was a very dark red-brown surrounded by a thin whitish line and then a large red area around that. The area was sometimes itchy and sore and lasted for several weeks.
Avatar f tn My cat was getting attacked by anothee cat last night and I went to grab my cat so I could take her away from the other cat. It was a stupid move because my cat was in defense mode and ended up biting me on the hand. It is a puncture wound that was bleeding. I washed it with soap and water, put hydrogen peroxide on it, perscription antibacterial cream and a bandaid. I have done this 3 times since last night and am now soaking in an epsom salt bath as well.
1098760 tn?1266447897 the black cats not mine, but his owner wont care for his injuries because hes Just a Barn cat. Hes in my home in a crate now. Greys wound looks much the same. He was just attacked yesterday morning. Ive been treating him since. Hes easy, but the black cat, snaggle tooth, that one will bite, cant say I blame him tho. Grey wakes me at night when his needs tended, it hurts him, but I guess less then when its left without constant fresh cleaning. This makes me want to cry.

Avatar f tn It sounds like you have made a good attempt at getting at the infected fluid, although it will fill up again and he will need ANTIBIOTICS prescribed by the vet after the vet SEES your cat for a complete assessment of the situation. I am sure your vet will allow you to pay as you can ---your cat cannot wait until next month though--needs to get to the vet NOW! Please Let us know how things work out!
456970 tn?1287587447 Make sure your tetanus shots are up to date as well. A cat bite is a puncture wound, not to mention that cats have a LOT of bacteria in their mouths, their mouths are not clean like a dog's. Flush the wound with peroxide and try to keep the wound from closing up on the outside. A puncture wound should heal from the inside out to make sure it doesn't get closed up where a pocket of infection could form.
Avatar m tn But if you get bit or scratched by a cat, get to a doctor or hospital immediately, there is a 98% infection rate with any type of cat scratch or bite. I know this as i worked with animals for many years. A friend of mine actually got bartonella's henslae from a cat bite, and they didn't diagnose it for 9 months, and she is dying now from complications.
Avatar n tn He explained that it could of been Inflamed bowel disease and that it could of been from the Augmentin. He prescribed me prednisone for a 6 day period. This helped the pain go away and I stopped the Augmentin right away. While all of this is going on, I am still having my initial symptoms that started a month prior. I started having bad constipation and burning in my urination. Figuring that I may have an infection of some sort, I went to the ER. Nothing again.
Avatar f tn My cat has an infection from a bite to his face. He weighs 9lbs. and is 11yrs. old. Can I give him amoxicillin? How much and how often? I cleaned the wound w/ peroxide and applied neosporin.
1547392 tn?1293738615 I was bit by a friends cat who has never been vaccinated in her life the cat was 13 yrs old. The cat is now passed away and i was bit pretty bad so i am worried about rabies but the docs said they wont give me the rabies shot. Wondering what i can do??
Avatar n tn 7. Cough. Strep negative. Not really runny nose. Was on Augmentin but still has fever so changed antibiotics. I noticed yesterday that my child had red blotchy areas on his cheeks when we came in from getting out of the car. He also had areas that looked like a fresh moskito bite on his knuckles of his hands and he was scratching them. Then an area on his ankle too. After about an hour this all went away. No rash on arms, hands other than knuckle area, truck or legs.
Avatar f tn My 20 mon. old has had reactions for 2 1/2 months now, he was in Scottish Rite 2 weeks ago diag. with severe staphallofic? scalding syndrome. Here is my problem one of the Dr. suggested that Joshua had never probaly had reactions to insects it was staph all along, o.k. but I have killed ants and mosquitos on him and noticed the same reactions which are red hot raised about inch dia. all around with small blister clear discharge and they itch.
Avatar n tn give her a toy to bite on instead and; she's a kitten, she's playing. she would normally do this same thing with her litter mates who would cry if she bit too hard, and that way she would learn how hard is too hard. make sure that when she bites, you cry out (high-pitched mewling cry like a pained kitten would do) and she will learn not to do it.
Avatar f tn Hi if the cat didn't bite you or if the saliva was dried out you can't get it. The animal's saliva has to be wet and get in a wound or open sore, in the eyes, mouth or nose. See below from the Centers for Disease Control or CDC: People usually get rabies from the bite of a rabid animal. It is also possible, but quite rare, that people may get rabies if infectious material from a rabid animal, such as saliva, gets directly into their eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound.
Avatar m tn I have not heard of getting it from a scratch. cat bite are terrible they get infected a lot more than dog bite .
203342 tn?1328737207 I understand what Savas is saying about them not getting enough nursing. My cat was abandoned. He was a shelter drop off. Someone saw him, felt sorry for the little guy starving on the streets, picked him up and took him to the humane society. So he really didn't socialize in that way. Abby is teaching him, though, how to bite gently. But, the biting 'everything' thing is sometimes an issue.
596105 tn?1314580333 * You have a cat bite. Cat bites often cause infection. You don't need to call your doctor for a cat scratch, unless you think the wound is infected. * You have a dog bite on your hand, foot or head, or you have a bite that is deep or gaping. * You have diabetes, liver or lung disease, cancer, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or another condition that could weaken your ability to fight infection.
7753794 tn?1394784136 Hi! Last February 22 at around 8pm I've been bitten by a stray cat in my palm. I got vaccinated 38hrs after the exposure February 24. I have a depression and anxiety disorder before so I kept on thinking about if I the cat has a rabies because I'm afraid of dying early. The reason why I'm so scared is that I have a fever inside like a burning sensation. It's my 11th day after I got bitten and eversince it bit me I can hardly sleep overthinking about the bite.
Avatar f tn My dad was bitten by his cat and he spent 2 days in hospital for an infection. This cat has a bad habit of biting. Can the canines be pulled?
Avatar n tn Hi, I recently was had a cat in my home that I watched while the owners were on vacation. The cat had fleas and since the cat has left my place, I have had to deal with many fleas that are hard to rid. Because of that, I have been bitten quite a bit and I seem to have a strong allergic reaction to the bites (very itchy!). I have been scratching the bite marks A LOT and have noticed that I have developed some bruises on my legs above my knees and on my arm.
Avatar f tn ) I read somewhere that the mother cat bites the scruff and in dominant/submissive fights, the dominant cat will bite and hold the scruff of the submissive cat. I see that happen between Waldo and Sahib. I may step back and leave him alone or grab a toy and throw it. Or I may use a string. If he's in the mood for play, then he will go after the toy. Same thing with Waldo. If they don't go after the toy, then they probably want to be left alone.
