I have a few very small puncture wounds on my forearm that are centered somewhat around my ulna. I received them last night from my cat when got scared while I was holding him. Around these puncture wounds is some bruising and slight swelling, particularly near the bone. I am not sure if this is just a healing process or if it is a sign of early infection, as there is no puss to be seen at this point.
Hi, if I were your treating doctor, then I would suggest the following1) To have a dose of tetanus toxic, if not received in previous three years.2) If your cat is exposed to stray animals, then there is a risk of getting infected with rabies. So I would advise to get immunized with anti-rabies vaccine.3) need not panic. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
