My cat has a cut on its ear. It bled, now there's a slit. Is it okay?

Question

My cat got a slice in his ears there was some blood but it stopped now, there now is a slit in his ear. Is he ok? Will it heal back to normal? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Many cats get their ears sliced during a fight and the ear usually heals by itself. Just watch for swelling, and oozing of pus (infection). If that occurs you will need to take your kitty to a vet. Do not remove the crust or put ointment on it. It should be ok.
