My cat has a stomach hole and tail swelling after a fight. Vet help?

Question

My cat had a fight with another cat and after that she had a hole in her stomach and swelling on her back near the tail. That hole is now full of mucus and hard swelling around the hole. I have a doubt of maggots but not sure. If you can provide a mail id I can share the picture with you. I want my cute kitty back to her jolly life. Please help me.

Mano should be examined by a veterinarian. Cat bites can quickly become infected which will require antibiotics for treatment. The puncture in her abdomen should be examined to make sure it did not puncture the abdominal wall. This would be a serious situation. The swelling near her tail could be a developing abscess. You can share pictures if you request a consultation, but Mano would be better served by a physical exam followed up with the appropriate veterinary treatments.
