Oh yeah - i carry antibiotics and antiseptic stuff with me while doing any judging.. had to order more antibiotics to refill the stash..

Cat bites can be notorious for infection.. Antibiotics should always be started right away. I've been soaking/icing - at night I'm splinting the finger to keep the joint immobilized - that's the worst thing - not sure what internal damage he did there.. either the bone cracked or he nicked a vein when it happened.. I don't think he got the tendon.. there's still some swelling in the joint, so I'm doing hot soaks with epsom salts..
