My cat was attacked, has a leg wound with pus, and is very sick.

Question

My cat got beat up really bad and has a bad wound on front leg. Swollen with a lot of white puss. I applied pressure and puss shot out (ALOT). He isn't eating or drinking now and his head shakes at times. The last food he ate was nearly 2 dys ago. He threw up undigested food moments ago. He only can move his head now. Something beat him up bad. I'm just asking an opinion. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 12 lbs

I would recommend taking him to a vet as soon as possible. He most likely developed an abscess on his leg after a bite wound from another animal. These abscesses might need surgery to resolve. Also the patient can become septic (blood infection) and this is fatal with out treatment. Hope scooter feels better
