Re: Best Friends Club

..making me wonder about when cat sinks its teeth into me @Glisten  b@stard probs gave me cellulitis last year lol

Re: Best Friends Club

Re: Best Friends Club

@TAB  very likely cellulitis. Not to mention Toxoplasmosis.

Carpet - dust mites, carpet beetle larvae eat animal hair.

Carpet Padding - Black mold spores 

Bacteria E. coli or Salmonella cause  respiratory problems.

 

Re: Best Friends Club

sounds good @Glisten 

 

Yes, you can get cellulitis from a cat bite or scratch. Cat teeth and claws carry bacteria (such as Pasteurella multocida) that can be injected deep into the skin, causing rapid infection, swelling, pain, and redness. Cat bites are particularly risky because they often seal over, trapping bacteria inside. 

 

  • High Risk: Cat bites have a high infection rate, estimated at nearly 50%.

aww @Shaz51 is that a fruit bat?

Re: Best Friends Club

Oh my, what a beautiful bat, I have no doubt they're in the best hands under your watch for the night @Shaz51 

Re: Best Friends Club

@Rosepetal96 , @Jacques , @Jynx 

It was a Eastern tube-nosed bat 

 

It flew away by itself last night 

Re: Best Friends Club

@Shaz51, I have never encountered an eastern tube nose bat before, I have now learnt something new and will probably proceed to read about them now 😊 Looks so beautiful and distinctive. Thanks for sharing something new with me!!! 

 

Where I grew up, my parents have a massive backyard with lots of fruit trees, so I've only ever seen the grey headed flying foxes

Re: Best Friends Club

@TAB my Bestie in QLD, had to have surgery because she put herself in the middle of a dog fight - her own dogs.

Bite on her calf got infected because of the dog saliva.

After the surgery and 3 weeks wearing a Pressure sleeve with a drain, her calf looked like a loaf of Sourdough bread. :nauseated_face:
