Pasteurella multocida is the most common bacteria involved. 💊 Antibiotic prophylaxis for cat bites typically is Augmentin (or Unasyn if IV required). 🚨 Infections after a catbite can happen quite quickly, sometimes less than six hours. Flexor tenosynovitis in the fingers/hand is one that I often see, and this often requires urgent surgical debridement. 🐱 To all of the cat owners, stay safe out there! If you’re looking to adopt another one, the one at the beginning of this video might be available. #cat #catowner #catbite #infection
