Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 9 months old | 6 lbs
Hello. My cat has a small bite in his paw, which has now swollen. He is always doing this as he always fights with other cats and has been prescribed Noroclav tablets in the past by the vet to treat it. Is it possible for me to buy this on-line without a prescription?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harold. Based on your description of his wound, he likely has an abscess which is an infection due to the bite. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian to determine if this is the case and for the best treatment options. Some cats can require surgery with these types of wounds. While he will likely need antibiotics, he may also need pain medication and a cleansing solution. You should need a prescription from your veterinarian to purchase this medication online. You may be able to find it without the prescription, but I would not trust the source. I hope this information helps!
