Okay I got bite by a pitbill yesterday. My right arm is swollen and red, does that mean it's infected. If so what can happen if the infection gets worse ?

It should not be monitored. It should be euthanized.

Yeah ... Full Spectrum Antibiotics may be in order.

Go to your Minor Emergency Center ASAP ! It won't cost that much.
