"Because of our fondness for the common household pet, like cats and dogs, many times, scratches and bites occur across the nation. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what I'm going to talk about is how to treat the common bite from the household cat. The bite area could be bleeding, and cause a great deal of discomfort and pain. The first step is to wash the area with soap and water, and then apply some type of antiseptic. If there's bleeding, place some type of direct pressure with a clean type of bandage, and bandage the area. After the area's been cleaned and bandaged, monitor the area for signs of secondary infection; additional redness and swelling, red streaks leaving the area, or running up further up the body, signs of pus, or any other sign of infection, medical attention will have to be sought by some medical professional. The common cat bite can cause a great deal of pain, and discomfort, and bleeding. Treat the area, clean the area, and then monitor the area for signs of secondary infection. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see ya' next time."
