My cat's tail wart is bleeding and she's in pain. What should I do?

Question

Hi. My cat has a wart on her tail (get looked at it and said not to worry too much about it as long as we keep is clean). But now my cat licked and bit it open and it started bleeding. I cleaned it,but Beatdine ointment on with gauze and a bandage. Did I do the right thing? She is now lying next to me,I see she has pain. Is there anything I can do?

Poor girl. You did the right thing with the Betadine. There are no safe over the counter pain medicaitons for cats, so I highly encourage you not to use any of them. You can apply a cold compress on the area to see if this helps with some of the discomfort, if tolerated. At this pont she neds to have this wart removed surgically, or at the very least treated with antibiotics to see if it will heal somewhat. Visit you vet soon to have this treated and hopefully she doesn't have to have surgery. : ( Best of luck with your pet Luna and I hope that her bleeding mass resolves soon. Take care.
