Hi My cat ( male 9months old ) has been bitten by a dog 2 days ago, i took him to the vet, the doctor cleaned the wounds and had given medicine and cream to apply, i noticed just now that the wound has turned grey ( near his lower stomach) and there is pus forming around it, the doctor is not available at this time i will be able to see him after 15 hours , my cat has become dull and won't move but is eating and drinking. Is there anything i can do or it can wait till the night passes? I'm worr. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 9 months and 18 days old

Hello. If there is an emergency clinic or a 24 hour on-call vet available I would try calling them and have Kuku seen. It is possible that the wound needs surgery or possibly different medications. There isn't really anything you can do at home for him, he needs to see a vet. Good luck with Kuku.
