Subject: RE: BS: OK Folks, It's Flu Shot Time
I accidentally trod on the cat's tail in a pair of gum-soled shoes, so I couldn't feel that there was something under my foot to move off of him quickly; he bit me terribly on the ankle. It took a visit to the ER and my GP issued several rounds of antibiotics, finally resorting to an IV three times in one week of Rocephin before it cleared up. I mentioned this to the vet later and he said it shouldn't have taken so much, they should have prescribed something different to start with.

We're just entering cooler weather now, the push should be on to get people vaccinated with anything they're eligible for (Flu, COVID, Shingles, whatever - though I know Shingles isn't contagious) to have a healthier winter.
