It's not for Ducky, but me... but since it's rat-related, I put it here: feel free to change that, mods, and move it elsewhere if needs be...
I was letting her rest her head on my hand, and she yawned or spasmed, and bit down deep and hard into my finger - she did let go right away. I think she hit a vein as it's bleeding like crazy...
I've put some lidocaine/antiseptic rinse on it, and applying a lot of pressure, but it's finally stopped bleeding like crazy if I let go, I think...
To be honest, this is the first bite I've ever had - what does one do after basic first-aid? Is there anything special I should do or look out for?
Also, Mom is asking if I need a tetanus shot?
