It is your dog that you should worry about. Cat bits and scratches are highly infectious (Especially in humans, if you are bit go to the er, you will not be able to clean it on your own and you need to be on meds now, do not delay)

Thanks. I’m fine, the dog seems to have two slight scratches, one below each eye and one bled a tiny bit, which we immediately cleaned. I hope there’s no infection.

Not only serious risk of bacterial infection, is the dog absolutely current on rabies shots?

I got bitten by a feral cat that took up residence in my garage a few years back. I would suggest you take the cat to an animal shelter especially if you got bitten...Cat bites are nasty and according to my doctor can cause bone infections cause there teeth are shape enough to scratch the bone...When I took the cat in, they keep it for 10 days to make sure its not rabid. If it shows signs of rabies its put down and the brain sent to state forensics for exam. After I got home from the shelter, I got a call from the public health nurse and was told to get to the doctor within 72 hours for a tetanus shot if I hadn't had one in 5 years...Cat bites from feral cats is nothing to monkey around with...

With me, the cat latched onto my finger (forgot to put my work gloves on and it didn't let loose until I dropped it into the box and put the lid on...The cat looked really sickly and it took me 3 days feeding it to get close enough to catch it...first I set out milk to see if it would drink, advanced cases of rabies, the animal won't drink..(old common name for rabies was hydrophobia) Take the cat in, show them the bite and the health department takes it from there...

My hand swelled up to the wrist(the back of the hand) and it stayed swelled for several days...the bite was at the base of the pointer finger and deep enough that it oozed out blood for quite a while.....Your dog should be taken to the vet also as other diseases can be transmitted by animal bites.....

As walking feather suggested also a trip to the er is a good idea, you can get the tetanus shot there. If you don't have the animal, you may have to go through a series of rabies shots....keep the animal to turn in if you can...
