"Had a cat bite me on my hand... full set of teeth and sharp. Hand swelled and was red. Took Augmentin 8 hours after being bitten, and within 3 days, swelling went down and redness had faded. 6 years as an animal control officer and never injured once... helped my friend pick out a cat at the local humane society and got bitten... oh, the irony! This is excellent medicine for cat bites. Had a friend tell me her dad got bitten by a cat, and he ended up in the hospital and was gravely ill from an infection. Lucky me, from my experience I knew to seek medical attention immediately. Anyone bitten by a cat should know they have about an 85% chance of infection and need to take it very seriously or you'll end up in the hospital."
