Do his wounds look ok to go out in regaurds to: 1 Flies and threat of maggots on wounds? 2 can shaved areas get sunburn? Pics attached & taken today. Also, his vet missed 1 wound and there is a hard scab under his fur. It is not soft or smell and does not seem to hurt him if I touch it, What should I do about that? He was given Convenia shot & rabies 6/30/19. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | 4 years and 3 months old | 21 lbs

Snoops' wounds look great! He looks completely healed, so no worries about flies and maggots. The shaved areas may get sunburn, so keep him indoors during peak sun hours. Just leave that scab alone if it isn't bothering him. I hope this helps!
