That looks like it will be sore for a while.. i hope he also put you on an antibiotic so it won't get infected. I hope you mend fast and it doesn't hurt too much..<br><br>I've only seen one wound on a leg i thought might be as bad or worse and I had to help take care of it until we got to a hospital.. a gal i shared rent with in CA.. she owned a Serval cat (that's an african wild animal about knee high.. 80 lbs) Anyway the cat had been raised from new born by my roommate.. her mom was visiting and went outside to the garage to do laundry and didn't know the cat was loose instead of in his cage.. he was asleep in the garage and got startled and attacked her leg and took a good chunk from it. I had her put her leg in the bathtub while i tried to clean it somewhat and poured peroxide on it and got something like a bandage on it so we could take her to the emergency room.. with a wild animal you need certain care mostly from infection from their teeth.. more blood then i had ever seen!! luckily i waited until we got her to a doctor to fall apart and begin to shake lol.. sheesh..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-47530912546678418332006-04-17T09:58:00.000-07:002006-04-17T09:58:00.000-07:00Glad that you went in within 24hrs.

Alone and to far to make it to a town anywhere, I washed it in lake water and sewed up with about twenty stitches with the aid of mom's sewing basket. Sure got sore. managed half the intended work from then on, soaking foot four/five times a day reheating original salty water solution. What a picnic.
