Yes! Especially bites. I have gotten cellulitis from a cat bite and had to go to a doctor for antibiotics. They warned me that if I didn't come in right away for this infection (it was a Saturday that I called to ask about the small red lump), it could rapidly progress to a need for hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics.
