I just spoke with a friend of mine who is a nurse. She used to work in a prison where there were dogs and sometimes the prisoners would get bitten Needless to say, she has seen quite a few dog bites in her career.

She is wondering what is happening beneath the skin and mentioned a few words I didn't want to hear - but of course she hasn't seen it. She also wonders about the drainage - and in her opinion the ER doc should have given me Keflex rather than Augmentin. I don't know anything about all of that - but will call my dr first thing tomorrow morning.

Glad that your wound is healing, that is great news! My finger hurt in sympathy when I read your description on what happened!
