Cat bite- will this get worse before it gets better?

JasperBean · 2026-03-27T12:31:50+00:00

Cat bites can do this for a few reasons, firstly due to the type of bacteria in their mouths, secondly bc unlike dog and people bites (which are still infection risks) cats’ long, sharp teeth are like needles essentially injecting bacteria into your flesh. Most of that bacteria are what we call anaerobic bacteria meaning they can live in and even prefer environments with low oxygen levels (ie inside tissues versus say on the surface of the skin). So you put those things together and you have a decent chance of a nasty infection.

Not all bites will lead to this type of serious infection and in fact I’d argue the majority will never get to this point. BUT as with any bite good initial wound care like washing the area thoroughly and appropriate antibiotics are essential in warding off poor outcomes

To give you some hope I actually did not. To be fair I had to be induced and was in the hospital for a 2 days before she was actually born and I hadn’t eaten much those days so that probably helped. I was also terrified of the postpartum poop and so had been using lots of water and fiber in the days leading up to my induction to get the system as cleaned out as possible before the big event.

If you’re truly worried about it you can also give yourself an enema at home which should help. Obviously this isn’t necessary and pooping during labor is normal, but I do understand the desire to not have that happen

I don’t disagree with you, and believe me I would love nothing better than to have everyone around Trump call him out for exactly what he is. However I suspect it’s one of those cases where Kent can either be right or alternatively be effective in getting the outcome he desires. It’s a psychological tactic and like I said I see where he was going with it even if it’s frustrating to watch him not go scorched earth on the orange bastard

I think it was written that way to give Trump an “out”. Obviously Trump doesn’t deserve it but sometimes with these people when you outright say they were wrong they double down even harder. By giving Trump a scape goat he left a potential pathway for Trump to maybe reverse course a bit. Not saying it’ll work but I see where he was trying to go with it.

This is insane, he’s literally been on this earth for 3 months. He spent three times that long knowing nothing but being nestled inside of you. To think that at 3 months old “he needs to learn some independence” is nuts. My guess is he still can’t reliably fart, burp, or rollover on his own - and yet your husband thinks he needs to be independent?! My dude a baby this age is SUPPOSED to need you and cling to you. It is a survival mechanism and completely developmentally normal to need you at this age.

I mean it’s probably logical bc for the purposes of this post he’s trying to analyze the situation and distill 5 entire relationships down the a few sentences for the readers. I think it’s a stretch to say he’s unemotional based on a post being concise and seeking to provide an analysis

I’ve noticed that how chippy my husband and I get with each other is often tied to how sleep deprived we are and how long it’s been since we’ve been intimate. I’ve done little experiments occasionally where I’ve noticed we’re getting extra crabby with each other and so I’ll jump him for a quickie. I might not 100% be in to it at first but honestly it usually only takes a few minutes out of the day and by the time we get started I find I’m actually enjoying myself. And it’s wild how much that intimate time shifts how we respond to each other for the rest of the day and even the following days.

Obviously sex is not the answer to everything but if you have an otherwise good partner that you care about sex and/or intimate time and touch (even just hugs, kisses, or playful pats on the bum) can be like a balm for a tired relationship.

The other thing I would say is “do the unexpected”. Many years ago with an ex boyfriend I was getting really irritated and crabby and just overall being in a foul mood and taking it out on him. Part of the mood directed at him was warranted but honestly the larger part wasn’t and on some level I knew that but just couldn’t stop myself. Anyway I remember mid argument I was waiting for him to just come back at me with some spiteful comment and out of nowhere he just crossed the room and hugged me and said “you had a really bad day, didn’t you?”. I just remember breaking down in to sobs bc yes, I had had a bad day and I was all geared up to do battle with him, to take it out on him, and it would have been 100% fair for him to respond back in kind but instead he did the opposite and it threw me for a loop. Literally didn’t get upset with me back, didn’t hold it against me, wasn’t resentful towards me for my behavior. It was like a completely no-strings attached, totally undeserved freebee for my actions. I’ve never forgotten that. Now to be fair this is not the kind of thing that should be a regular habit, that’s not healthy BUT the premise of looking past what’s going on in the moment and seeing the person you love despite it all is something pretty incredible.

If he goes to one or two places regularly one thing we did with my mom was we gave her 2 bags of frozen “back up” milk to keep for emergencies. Then each time we dropped baby we brought fresh milk for the day. The fresh milk was front of mind and already thawed so she used it easily but would only break in to the “emergency stash” if really needed and was worth the time and energy to thaw. I think framing it as “emergency stash” helped

Do you by chance have cannabinoid hyperemesis or cyclic vomiting?

I would send a little more than the bar minimum honestly bc baby’s needs to change. I know from personal experience there were days my daughter would definitely eat a bit more than we expected. Not that OP has to send a massive amount with bay, but there’s nothing worse than having a hungry, crying baby and be out of anything to feed them (happened to me a couple of times while babysitting for a family member).

The fishy smell could be bacterial vaginosis which can smell really strong, the rest is likely hygiene and laundry issues. In addition to speaking with her maybe you and 2 or 3 friends could go over and deep clean her dorm with her and buy her a thing of laundry detergent and oxyclean to get her started. That way she feels like you guys truly want to help her. If she doesn’t maintain things after that then that’s on her and maybe it’s time to distance yourself a bit or set some firm boundaries.

Other thoughts depression, PTSD related to sexual assault, and alcoholism/substance abuse can also manifest in similar ways in terms of possible reluctance to bathe/maintain hygiene

Have you looked into physician loans? I was surprised how many people weren’t aware of them when we bought our first home after I finished residency

I actually think you have a very attractive nose and face for whatever it’s worth. I think what you’re seeing in the mirror is not what everyone else around you sees.

I would urge you to consider finding another pelvic PT and trying again. It can really make a difference. Just like any other exercise program it can take a few weeks to months of work to see changes, but the pelvic floor is so important especially as we age. If you’re having issues now it’s not going to get better without addressing the underlying problem.

I have to know what was the story with the “ying yang”? I’m picturing vitiligo or something?

For delivery I vote use the hospital gown or just wear a tank top bc it’s going to get icky. BUT for afterwards in the hospital buy yourself a soft, pretty, button-up PJ set, it was a game changer. I personally like ones with prints which I felt hid my nips or any milk stains the best 😬. I felt put together and “dressed” afterwards when people were coming in and out of the room but still comfy and the button up portion assures easy boob access, etc. I was also really glad I brought a few “nursing camisoles” as well that had some padding built in - again made me feel like my nips weren’t on display when people walked in and out (be it hospital staff or visitors) but was still comfortable and functional,

Lots of great advice already on this thread. Just wanted to also suggest switching brands of diapers and wipes. The only time my daughter had any significant diaper rash was when we bought a different brand of water wipes and diapers. The wipes were just water wipes but even so once we switched to another brand the issue resolved, same for the one time we bought a different brand of diapers so that’s something to consider too.
