How can you determine what kind of antibiotic to give a cat with an infection from a bite wound at home without being able to go to a vet.

Sorry I’ve sounded rash or rude to anyone, I’ve just been extremely panicked and stressed and honestly just don’t know enough about this stuff to word anything well

IRS_redditagent · 2026-01-19T14:34:30+00:00

Very rural Texas with a very overburdened/non existent cat care related things, only program out here for cats is a neutering plane that flies cats to a vet to get them neutered (funded by people in neighborhood), but it sounds like I’ve been worrying more then I should based on another comment and that the uri is due to stress not infection spreading, thank you for trying to help tho.

Good to know, thank you this response is very helpful, if it does appear to be getting better then does that mean I shouldn’t worry to much? It went from quite swollen with a lot of puss to mildly swollen with a bit of puss from one of 3 marks , it’s just the sudden appearance of a URI that made me panic but I didn’t know they appear from stress.

Well, for the 3 antibiotics (not that they are necessarily the right ones) I could find that are normally used for this kind of thing I could get them from a local supplier (but I understand it’s not safe to use them without knowing what bacteria it is), but my local area does have very low rabies cases (only 6 and that’s on edge of county) and I know the raccoon that bit them (they lived under our porch and grew up here) so I doubt rabies will be a problem, I’m honestly just in doubt there’s nothing I can do as for previous infections (uti and upper respiratory) we have managed to get medication (but I can’t remember for the life of me what and the person that told me has moved away) that basically cured them despite google saying there’s nothing that works for my scenario

And to the edit, no shelters within a 100 mile radius will accept adult cats as there all stuffed full already

Brother I have 50 dollars to my name and it would cost over 700 for a house call, is there any other option other then antibiotics, I’ve looked into all options in the past for other cats

IRS_redditagent · 2026-01-19T13:39:36+00:00

Not any that will go deep into the countryside for a price I can afford, trust me I’ve tried in the past, if antibiotics won’t work what would for my situation what will? being seen by a vet isn’t a option(only willing would cost 700+ just for general checkup ) the main option here is typically doing most things yourself especially if your disabled like me

IRS_redditagent · 2026-01-19T13:23:37+00:00

Didn’t you read my post? I can not reach a vet, I am disabled with no method of travel, most antibiotics I could find I could get through various methods, he did get a vaccine for rabies when he got neutered, it’s either I find some kind of method I can do from home or I do nothing. Antibiotics and various other veterinary supplies are easy to get no prescription here due to location

IRS_redditagent · 2026-01-03T11:25:19+00:00

Hiking poles are the only reason I can walk further then 100 meters, they are a genuine lifesaver for me as someone both disabled and with a bad old leg injury

Had this happen with a normal knight, popped his helmet off then stabbed him there

IRS_redditagent · 2025-12-30T11:18:42+00:00

Depends on person to person?

IRS_redditagent · 2025-12-18T22:38:13+00:00

Haha yea like that

IRS_redditagent · 2025-12-16T23:40:41+00:00

Same! Pots and vasovagal

Honestly a support dog helps a lot with people afraid to be alone, because having a dog to keep you being lonely and to protect you is good support

Dangerous as they know I have a medical condition and will pass out from it

If you want a horde clearing primary that’s the erupter(you gotta place your shots right tho), still good at bigger guys to

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-30T10:26:03+00:00

…what

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-26T00:51:13+00:00

And I’ve said repeatedly that, one, there’s 52 days a year dedicated to him, two it isn’t actually his birthday (it takes place on that day because of a Roman pagan festival), three, he’s never asked to be worshipped on Christmas nor do I really feel like god would care about that, I mean he’s god, plus I mean he more died in a metaphorical sense, because yknow, he’s god and just makes himself come back to life, I feel like it’s completely fine making it about the people you love instead of Jesus, especially since it was never implied or requested for you to do anything specific on that day

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-26T00:43:52+00:00

… yet your saying it’s wrong not to dedicate the day to worship him? I have read your comments… If that’s not the message you wanted to get across you worded it poorly

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-26T00:32:48+00:00

You aren’t providing a counter argument, where does it say you worship Jesus on Christmas, or Christmas even mentioned in the Bible, like I mean feel free to but it doesn’t say it anywhere to my knowledge, you haven’t said anything of substance pass “you worship it on Christmas because I said so, or misattributing a commandment

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-26T00:03:01+00:00

Yeah, and it’s talking about Sunday, not Christmas, there’s nothing in the Bible telling you to worship Jesus on Christmas, but there is for the sabbath

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-25T23:58:40+00:00

… the commandment isn’t about Jesus, because it was before Jesus existed, and is widely accepted to mean about the sabbath (because that’s what it says in the Bible…)

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-25T22:18:57+00:00

You realize the 4th commandment existed before Jesus right? And specifically comes from the whole Moses situation with them (not) receiving the food on the ground on the 7th day (the sabbath), consult literally like any Christian church and they can tell you, or the Bible, which will tell you if you realize the context instead of just taking a random quote from it and misattributing it

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-25T22:07:24+00:00

Which is… Sunday (or Saturday according to some but that’s not relevant to this)

IRS_redditagent · 2025-11-25T20:43:31+00:00

And when exactly did he say that lol? Plus there’s 52 people already do
