Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pearl. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. I worry that he has an abscess which is a bad infection under the skin. This can happen secondary to any wound, but is common after cat fight wounds. If this is the case, antibiotics will be necessary and sometimes surgery is necessary. I hope this information helps!
