A member asked:
My friend's cat went up on her lap to get her food. in the process, one of her claws went in the skin, on the side of her nail. it's been almost a day and a half since that happened and it still hurts. kinda reddish too, is it rabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not with the lesion due to cat's claw. It is quite common to have pain and inflammation with that type of lesion at least a day or two. If fever occurs or there is evidence of infection spread (redness streaks on the skin with tender regional nodes, armpit or groin), you may need antibiotic.
