What to do for a cat wound leaking pus & blood for 2 weeks, no vet?

Question

My cat has a wound from a fight that’s been there for 2 weeks.it leaks pus and blood.when my bro and I first saw it we cut the fur around it and squeezed the pus out then put alcohol, the bump went down a little but he’s still leaking pus and blood. We can’t afford a vet. What do we do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Hello. First, stop squeezing the wound. Every time you do, you reopen & possibly re-contaminate the lesion. Pick up some Hibiclens ( chlorhexidine antibacterial skin cleanser ) at any pharmacy & gently scrub the area twice a day. It will take time, but eventually this should heal..
