[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We ended up in the hospital for a cat bite (like 80% end up hospitalized) - and they went to the vet and pulled records and went to the owners house and spoke to them and told them to quarantine the cat for like five days. It was honestly mostly my kids fault for chasing a cat under a bed and trying to bring it out -
In the rooms on either side of us were dog bites - apparently also prone to needing iv antibiotics. I got bit by our puppy and just needed oral antibiotics when it didn’t look good.[/quote]

No, 80% do not wind up hospitalized for cat bites. I have had several.[/quote]

My friend's mother was scratched by her cat and almost died of sepsis. She didn't follow up with the doctor right away though when the first antibiotics she was given were not working.[/quote]

I grew up on a farm in a developing country and had countless dog nips/bites, cat scratches, puncture wounds from a couple of aggressive roosters etc over the years. Never did I get antibiotics or any issues whatsoever. The damage antibiotics do to one's gut flora when taken is often more than the benefit. But to each their own. [/quote]
