Cat developed strange red mass on abdomen after abscess burst - on Enroxil

Thank you for reaching out with your concern. It sounds like you're dealing with a challenging situation, and I'm here to help.



When an abscess bursts, it can cause a variety of changes in the surrounding skin tissue, including red masses that might be inflamed granulation tissue or, in some cases, a reaction to an underlying infection. Since your cat is already on Enroxil, it's getting some important antibiotic support, but this new development might indicate either an ongoing infection or simply the body trying to heal.



At home, gently clean the area with warm water to keep it free from debris. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or alcohol as they can be too harsh. If your cat allows it, applying a warm compress can sometimes help with discomfort and promote healing.



Watch for signs of serious issues, such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or an unpleasant smell from the wound. If the mass seems to grow rapidly, or your cat is more lethargic than usual, these could be signs that it needs more attention.



I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so a professional can assess your cat's condition more closely. This will allow us to ensure that your pet is healing well and address any complications promptly.
