I'm not a medical professional... IIRC, a tetanus shot is good for ten years, so if you had one four years ago, or five or six, you're still protected by it. If you needed one, I suspect nine days after the injury would be too late. If the redness persists or pus is present, it's definitely infected.
The Tiger Rising, written by the award winning author Kate DiCamillo, is an engaging story of two children whose lives are thrown together in a small town in Florida.
Book Summary. The Tiger Rising is the tale of 12-year-old Rob Horton who finds a caged tiger in the woods behind the Kentucky Star Motel where he lives with his dad. The tiger is so incongruous in this setting that Rob views the apparition as some sort of magic trick.
