A member asked:

I need help figuring out whats wrong with this cat scratch i got around the same time yesterday now and by the morning it was swollen and sore and no?

Infected?: Cat scratches may become infected. If it is red, swollen and painful then you need to see a doctor for evaluation and possible antibiotics. You should also get a tetanus shot if that is not up to date.
