I was playing with Sisters cat, and she clawed me and bit me quite hard. I washed it immediatly and disinfected it, but is very swollen, should I get an injection for tetanus?

Just keep it clean...Hon, I've had many a cat scratch and bad bite but it heals pretty much on its own..If you have a dog --let your dog lick it and it will heal faster...
Don't go to the old wives tale people...IT DOES WORK...

I would wait 2 days. If it is still there, I'd see a doctor.
Make sure that you know your last tetanus shot. Remember, those shots last 10 years.
Also, if it is, warn others about the cat. They will thank u.
If this doesn't hit the spot, e-mail or IM me. I'm open anytime.
I hope the swelling goes down! LOL

Sure. But remember a tetanus shot is good for ten years, so the last one you had may still be good.
Next time, bite her back. lol

If the swelling or redness around the bite grows larger within the next day you should go to a doctor.

You might want to. And keep washing the area, and douse it with alcohol.

You should probably go to the doctor so they can figure out what to do with it.
