My dog bit my cat's ear badly. Does she need an urgent vet visit?

Question

My dog bit my cats ear, it cut her ear into two pieces last night. She had another small bite at the bottom of the ear as well. I’ve cleaned it and put ointment on it. Should I take her in? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Boots. I do recommend that she sees a veterinarian today. The ear wound needs to be thoroughly cleaned and and examined. She may need antibiotics or even surgery to help it heal. In the meantime, do not allow her to paw at it. Place an E-collar on her if needed to prevent any further self trauma. I hope this information helps!
