My cat has two wounds and I'm wondering what treatment I'll most likely be given when I take her to the vet and/or the cost of treatment.

Costs vary widely between vet clinics. Looks like she will at the very minimum need antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications and maybe a topical one to put directly on the wound(s). My best guess would be around $150 but again, the cost varies widely. You need to call some local clinics and get prices.

    Unfortunately because clinics vary with their costs, I cannot give you an exact figure. The office visit is typically between $45-$55, and the medications would be additional on top of it. Best of luck.
