Good Morning, We have a problem & need help. On Monday Ben was trying to help one of our cats get his back paw out from between two boards of our privacy fence (she was going over and obviously didn't quite clear it). Anyhow, when Ben tried to help her down, he got his hands badly scratched. We immediately used hydrogen peroxide and then Neosporin. When Ben's GP doctor's office was open he went in and got a tetanus shot & a prescription for Biaxin 500mg taken twice a day. The left hand (PD side) is badly swollen. It's all dark red & looks like a balloon. Even his tremor is hardly noticeable. He's finally agreed that he needs to go back to the doctor today, in fact he just left for the doctor's office. I guess what I'm asking is: Since both hands were badly scratched and his right hand is pretty much healed, is there a possibility that scratches on his PD side are much harder to heal because of the PD?
