He drew blood...ouch...

Ok so this morning one of my big males decided to taste my finger.

He bit me quite hard, broke the skin and caused some bleeding.

I cleaned the wound and applied and anti-bacterial.

Should I go and get a tetanus shot?

thanks

I don't think its necessary, cleaning it well and applying neosporine should be all you need to do for it. I've been bit by a big male before too, healed right up in a couple days.

Thanks Gail.

I was just a bit worried, I've been bitten before but never had the skin broken.

I will keep an eye on it.

Do you know what the time frame (allowance) is between acquiring the wound and getting the shot? (Should I need it)

 

[Gail]

Within 24 hours.

Thanks Again!

I guess i have been lucky not getting bit, weres there a reason you got bit, was there food involved, was it in the am/pm was he just awoken, let us know, so we can prepare our selves
thanks

I was giving him his 1st dose of Reptaid and I was trying to coax his mouth open...stupid I know.
