Yep, a round of amoxycillin. Sucks for mom (and shortly thereafter, sucks for baby. Usually a lot.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 12:03 6
- American Academy of Pediatrics considers amoxicillin compatible with breast feeding -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 1, 12:08 5

So it seems we might have to get rid of one of our cats. The black one, mcfluffin, bit Megan's arm and drew blood as she was combing his fur ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 09:42 10
- She probably accidentally hurt him a little. It is cat instinct. -- nm - Andie Feb 1, 12:53
- That's not unusual behavior in cats. Just avoid the brushing and learn the behavioral cues that indicate agitation - TWuG Feb 1, 10:00 5
  - There was no warning. Went from liking it to drawing blood in one second. Matted fur got snagged, I guess. - Beryllium Feb 1, 10:09 3
    - Not to minimize the distress, but hitting a snag would elicit that behavior in all our cats - TWuG Feb 1, 10:24 2
      - Yeah, I got bit good last week by Olive when I accidentally clipped a nail too far. - Kim Pine Feb 1, 10:43 1
        
        Nailclipping is almost always why I get bitten or scratched by the cats. - TWuG Feb 1, 10:52
  - Yup. One of my cats is not a fan of getting combed but needs it. We do it in stages and allow her to calm down so she doesn't bite or scratch us. - Krusty Feb 1, 10:04
- Thusly confirming it was, in fact, a cat. -- nm - Qale Feb 1, 09:56
