Walt, was the cat known to you or was it a stray, or what? I know that bites from animals sometimes require a treatment for the potential of rabies. Was that what you were going to be given the IV drip for? If it's a treatment to prevent or it is believed rabies could be involved, I believe it's all injections over a month's time. But nowadays at least it's not in the stomach for 21 days. I had that! No fun.

Rich,
It was my cat Scrappy that bit me. When he sunk his four fangs into the heel of my thumb, I had been carrying him back to the room where he could be shut in while I made sure my wife's cat was also shut in again. My cat was fully "clawed" & was a mean brawler. The wife's cat was declawed & was no match for Scrappy. I held his head so that he could not get another bite at me until I put him down. It was probably 10 seconds or so that his teeth were in my flesh. That's probably why the bite got infected so quickly. I don't remember if the doc told us what kind of antibiotic the IV drip would have been. Having spent many Christmases alone (in the military stationed overseas), I was trying to avoid starting out married life that way! The soreness from the gluteal injection lasted some 4-5 days. As a kid in the 1950s & '60s, I remember hearing many times about the Pasteur rabies shot treatment if we had been bitten by an animal. No kid ever wanted to have to undergo that treatment back then.
