How To Treat Cat Bite?
My cat bit me on my thumb yesterday after being hit by a car. I washed it yesterday and put hydrogen peroxide on it but this was about 30 minutes later since I had to take my dog to the animal emergency right away. Since being bitten, my thumb is swollen. I cannot bend it as usual and it is painful. Is this normal?
