Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your concern about your cat's wound. I know it can be worrying to see an injury on your furry friend. Without seeing the wound, I can share some general information that might help.
Cats can get wounds from various causes, such as fights with other animals, scratches from sharp objects, or even insect bites. If the wound is small, you might try gently cleaning it with warm water and mild soap to prevent infection. Make sure your cat doesn’t lick the area, as this can slow healing or introduce more bacteria.
Keep an eye out for signs that might indicate a more serious issue, like swelling, redness, or pus coming from the wound, as well as any foul odor. If your cat starts acting lethargic, refuses to eat, or shows signs of pain, those are definite signals to seek more immediate care.
For more peace of mind and specific advice, it would be a great idea to book a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can take a closer look and guide you on the best next steps for your kitty's recovery. Wishing your cat a quick and easy healing process!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
