Do I need to see the doctor?

divadexie · Mar 14th, 2010, 15:34 PM

Just back from a bit of a mad walk with one of my dogs and when clibing over a fence that wasn't there last time, my leg slipped and the barbed wire poked into my leg.
It wasn't rusty infact it was a brand new fence thats why it was so damn sharp.

Cleaned it with alcohol wipe its only a wee hole with a tiny bit of bruising (I bruise easy) put a plaster on it.

Will it be ok do you think? I was always told if you cut on something rusty to get a tetanush shot but there was no rust or dirt atall on the barb.

Might be worth callin them for advice hun, even though it isnt rusty. if nothin else this will put your mind at rest!
How deep is the cut? I am sure It'll be fine tho! I think I would call an out if hours dic just to give myself piece of mind x x

If you bleed its normally ok because it cleans the wound, its if it punctures and doesn't bleed that's worse. But since you're pregnant id def give them a call today x
