I would strongly recommend taking her to your vet as she will need to have an antibiotic injection to prevent an infection from surely happening. the are should be clipped and clean as much as possible but a course of antibiotics is crucial.

I noticed a puncture wound on Mynx on Monday on closer inspection it appears she’s been bitten by something. The wound on one side is very clean the other side has bits fur stuck into. I e cleaned the wounds but wondered if I should take her to my

Yes. I would recommend to take her to the vet. The doctor will likely put her on antibiotics to try to clean up the infection. You also need to make sure that she is not licking at the area as this can make it worse. She should wear an Elizabethan collar at all times and be kept indoors completely until the wound is completely healed. I hope she feels better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi please tell me what I should get for my cat. I believe she was attacked by another cat outside

That's a deep wound. Your cat needs to be taken to the vet right away. If she was attacked by another animal, she needs to be updated on her rabies vaccine, and likely needs a course of antibiotics, which can only come from your vet. That wound may need to be cleaned and explored as well, depending on how it looks on exam.

My cat has wound on her right leg most likely from a fight with another cat. It seems like there is two small holes and a lot of fur missing. How can I treat it? Is it imperative to see a vet?

Unfortunately cat bite wounds can become infected very quickly and often there is further damage under the skin that isn't apparent from the outside. For those reasons I recommend your cat get checked out by a veterinarian as early treatment can prevent future complications such as muscle infection. In the meantime keep the area clean and dry and keep your cat indoors. Do not give any human medications as they can be toxic to cats.?

There's a female cat that has a wound under its tail which is bleeding sometimes. It's not much just a few drops of blood. She can walk normally.but the wound doesnt heal.Its for 2 weeks i think she wounded. We doesnt have any vet that can help us an

It's probably an abscess and she will need an antibiotic injection, you need to try to find a vet clinic in your area, otherwise you may try oral paediatric antibiotics, unfortunately we are not allowed by law to provide dosage information of prescription drugs over the internet.

We noticed blood on the floor around my cat and when we checked her, we noticed what seems to be some sort of bloody opening on her skin. We are really worried and not sure what we need to do about this. She’s relatively old so she doesn’t go outside

It looks like a burst abscess but it could also be an ulcerated tumor, i strongly advise taking her to the vet today in order to get it checked and treated, she will need an antibiotic injection at the very least in order to heal from this.

If it is not healing and seems to be getting worse, then I would schedule and appointment to see a vet as it may need antibiotics to heal completely. Try to keep it clean with mild soap and water and make sure to not get any in her eyes due to its location until you can get her seen

I have a flea problem that started almost a week ago. I am a cat owner. I have been doing my best to work at getting rid of them. It appears that my cat has been biting at the tip of his tail and now there is an open wound. Did not notice right away.

Prince may have caused damage to his tail from the itching with the fleas, or some other reason. Whatever the cause was, now that there is a bleeding wound on his tail, I would recommend that you have it treated by a vet as soon as possible. Tip of the tail wounds can be very hard to heal because there is not much blood flow to help with healing. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatories are often needed to help with healing, as well as special bandages to keep the tail protected. Prince may need to wear an e-collar if he is seen licking the tip of his tail, since licking spreads bacteria and decreases the rate of healing. The cost of veterinary care ranges drastically depending on your area and the clinic chosen. You may be able to call different clinics and ask for the cost of an exam, wound treatment, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories for cats to see what the average cost would be. I have worked in clinics where this treatment could range from $120-300.

Our BarnCat spent 2 nights outside and she looks like she may have had a bit of a scrum. She could just be exhausted, but she's not interested a fresh can of food, and she's usually very food driven. She let us pet her for a while and then retreated

It is likely that she has a cat fight wound. These always get infected. It would be best if she has a veterinarian exam and my guess is that she needs a prescription antibiotic. If she has a fight wound and it is left untreated, she will probably develop a deeper abscess. It

We just discovered that our cat has been injured. I think it can be another cat that bit him. Some hair is missing and there is a bit of blood in the wound; however it is not actively bleeding. How can we clean the wound or do you think we should we

I would recommend for your kitty to see the veterinarian. Infections tend to heal significantly faster and with less complications with antibiotics. You also will need to make sure he does not lick at the wound as this will make it worse. Have him wear an Elizabethan collar at all times and keep him indoors until it is healed. Typical healing is expected to take 10 to 14 days in most circumstances. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
