She probably has a wound from the cat fight. I recommend checking her carefully and clean any scab you find with hydrogen peroxide. It’s best to keep the wound open so the infection can drain. If she stops eating or is too painful then please take her in for a veterinary exam and treatment. They may need to sedate her to clean the wounds and will give her antibiotics to fight the infection. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bubbles.
