My finger is stiff and going numb (from a cat bite). What should I do?
I was bit by a cat earlier today and it went in really deep (the depth of the whole length of her front fangs). It was on my middle finger. I wouldn't be too concerned except I'm having trouble straightening it. I disinfected it with soap and water and soaked it in water for 5 minutes or so and then cleaned it off again and then applied rubbing alcohol and bandaged it. When I got home I washed it again and put polysporin on it and a new bandage. What is wrong?? What else can I do besides go to the doctor... unless you think it is necessary.
