[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Our cat is a rescue and already has issues we are trying to sort out (his belly is bare from allergies and I don't want to add anxiety to that), so I am going to try the hose, and the Feliway and talk to the vet to see what I can do to acclimate him to other cats.  It is odd because he is otherwise a very mild cat.  He doesn't scratch and if you pick him up, he will take care to push you without his claws.  But see another cat and he loses his freaking mind.

And yes, IV antibiotics for a cat bite.  The pediatrician said that they generally prescribe prophylactic antibiotics for cat bites even if infection is not visible (because the chances for infection are so high), so if you are bit, call the doctor. 
 
The finger is very swollen and red, DD's lymphs are also showing that she is fighting off something and has a low fever.  All within the same day of the bite.  Augmentin oral immediately, followed by IV, and then another follow up in a couple of days for a second round of IV and to evaluate her progress.  They haven't told me what happens if it doesn't look better, just "we will talk about next steps then".  Hoping it all works.  This morning, the finger was more swollen but DD said it hurts less.

We had two vacations planned this summer.  The first one was cancelled when I got Covid.  If the second one is cancelled for a cat bite, I just have the worst luck. [/quote]
