If the cat bite is infected such as inflamed or swelling is present, then you need to take your cat into your Veterinarian. He or she will know the best type of antibiotic to put your cat on. It may have turned into an abscess where it needs to be opened up and flushed out and a penrose drain put in to keep it opened and draining.

This type of antibiotic is not one of choice.

Is a cat's bite poison?

No, a cat's bite is not poison. However, if you do receive a cat bite and the teeth have broken the skin, it is usually a good idea to visit your local doctor just to be on the safe side. Usually though, a healthy and fully vaccinated house cat is unlikely to be carrying anything dangerous to a human.

Will doxycycline stop cat diarrhea?

I assume it's antibiotics specifically for cats. You cannot give them the same as for humans and never without consulting a vet. Antibiotics work the same way on cats as it does in humans - it kills the good bacteria in the stomach as well as the bad so diarrhea is a side effect. As long as the cat eat and drink this is not dangerous. I suggest you ask the vet that prescriped them to you since he knows what they were for. Diarrhea can be very dangerous for a cat of it gets dehydrated.

Is cat Bite dangerous?

Not unless the dog had rabies or the bite was to a fatal spot, such as the neck. Also be aware that a dog bite to a cat can cause an internal infection. The bite may not fester or abcess on the skin, but the infection could become systemic internally. I know this as my beloved cat died this morning after being diagnosed by a veterinarian that a healed bite punctured her lung and introduced bacteria. If your cat loses weight, is not as playful, and more lethargic following a dog bite--even weeks after the fact, there may be an internal infection that is deadly without early treatment.
