Lance, if you are the only one with a puncture wound I wouldn't worry either.
Is Callie current on her rabies vaccine? Since you went to the doc for abx you
may get a call from the Health Dept. I know I did when I went to the ER for
treatment of an infected cat bite. I had to agree to
Thanks for the good thoughts, everyone. Sharyl, I hope I'm the only one with a
puncture wound. I don't know that for sure. I've felt around on Callie's neck,
tail, and legs, and I haven't found anything yet, but I doubt that I'd know it
if I were touching it. I wish there was something that
it should happen again. Chances are Callie will be fine, FeLV is not that easily transmitted.
All the best,
Margo

I understand what you’re saying but be very very careful w. cat bites. The

Lance, Callie will probably be just fine. It takes a lot of exposure to
FelV for a cat to get it and grown cats mixed with FelV cats usually don't
become positive even without being vaccinated. It is kittens who are in
danger, as their immune systems are not well developed.

Hopefully you won't get a call, but it is always important to get a tetanus
shot. And because I rescue I keep Augmentin (the antibiotic of choice for
bites) at home.

I totally agree, Lee. I've always been a worrier and I ruminate on concerns and
