Tetanus shot/watch: Animal bites can cause infections and should be checked and watched for signs such as redness, heat to the area, crusted areas, oozing sores, fever etc. It is also important to find out when the patients last tetanus shot was. If it was more than 5 years ago, then she should get a booster. Keep the area clean and dry. Wash with mild soap twice a day. Is this your cat?
