Denmark – Mann bitt – died
Plettner was bitten in August 2018 after he and his then-girlfriend looked after a cat with kittens from an animal shelter in Denmark.
When he had to lift up the mother cat to move her, he was bitten on the finger.
15 operations
The bite caused Plettner to contract a number of infections, and had to go to hospital where he underwent 15 operations. Danes write it TV 2.
The family called the family to the vet the day Plettner was bitten, but he was asked to come to the vet the next day.
Cat mutilated and killed
On October 10, he died, aged 33.
– The cat bit right into a blood vessel, and when a cat bites and pulls out the tanna, the hole closes and the bacteria is spread, Plettner’s mother, Anni Thyme, tells Danish TV 2.
The family warns
Despite a series of operations, the index finger had to be amputated. But the infections continued.
Dogs die: – Incomprehensible
– His immune system was weakened. He also developed pneumonia, gout and diabetes, says Thyme.
The family is now warning others, and is clear that you must seek help immediately if you are bitten by an animal.
– Leave immediately, says Kriegbaum’s ex-wife, Desirée Plettner.
