My cat has a bad wound behind her ear. What over-the-counter options?

Question

Hi my female cat has a bad looking wound behind her ear is there something over the counter I could purchase to help her? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed

This is probably self inflicted and due to generalized itch or inflammation infection of the ear canal. A check up would be immediately required to determine specifically underlying cause and treat appropriately. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any scratching. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
