My cat has a random wound on his leg, I don’t know what to do, I can’t take him to see a vet till the 1st. The first picture was when I first noticed it and the second one was taken 3 days ago. What can I buy to help him until I can take him in.

This wound is starting to granulate (heal from the inside out) and is at a normal stage of healing. Medical grade manuka honey can help keep the wound clean and moist and encourage healing in this manner and could be applied daily to help
