[|Human|] I adopted two kittens Friday. The Ragdoll is terrified and has been hiding behind and underneath bookcase. I pulled him out and he has bitten me deeply in several places on my hands. My fault! I rushed the extraction and was quite aware of how sadly frightened he is. I thoroughly washed areas with hot water and antibacterial soap. Cleansed with alcohol, betadine, and applied polysporin. How else do I treat?
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It would be best to see a doctor. Bites from cats/kittens can easily become infected requiring antibiotics in some cases. Early treatment would prevent this. Antibiotics are required in some persons even if no infection is seen at the time. These persons are: (a) those who are immunocompromised- diabetes, on steroids treatment or other medication, HIV(b)no spleen present(c)advanced liver disease(d)previous swelling in the area(e)moderate to severe injury especially on hands and face any of these apply to you then antibiotics are needed as soon as possible. I hope this helps
