Cat bite (me) should I go to the doctor?

[Mark]

I can't remember when but I did have a tetanus about 10 years ago.

[Leanne]

Have you had a tetanus? If not I think I'd go to the Doctors to be on the safe side

[Mark]

I did wash it with hot water and soap (my nurse friend says don't waste time with antiseptic creams etc)

I suppose at least I know my immune system is in working order 

[Sabrina (Auferstehen)]

As long as you washed it and put something on it (antiseptic etc) you should be fine.

The many times I've been bitten it does hurt a bit and swell but eventually the numbness/pain will fade.

[Mark]

The throbbing has almost stopped over the last couple of hours but my finger feels numb. The thing is, I have so much to do today that I don't want to waste time at the doctors. The last time, it was a lot worse than this and all they gave me was some steroid cream to make the swelling go down.

I would to be on the safe side.

Willow bit right into my finger last night when I unsuccessfully tried to pill her. It has been throbbing since and even woke me up at 4.30am. It is a bit swollen this morning and still sore - should I go to the doctor?

When Kylie bit me at the vets once, my hand swelled right up - this time t isn't like that but there is a bit of swelling.
