Hole under my neutered cat's testicles.

Hello there,



I'm glad you reached out about your cat's situation. I understand how concerning it can be to find something unusual with your pet. The hole under your neutered cat's testicles could be from several causes. It might be a minor skin irritation or an abscess that’s formed from an ingrown hair or small wound. Sometimes, surgical sites can form holes if they haven’t healed properly or if there's been some trauma to the area.



At home, keep the area clean and dry. You can gently clean it with warm water and a soft cloth, but avoid using anything that could irritate the skin further. It's important to watch for any swelling, discharge, or a bad smell, as these can be signs of infection. Also, keep an eye on your cat's behavior. If he seems uncomfortable, is excessively licking the area, or if there's blood, it would be wise to consult with a vet.



If the hole doesn’t start improving in a day or two, or if you notice any of the concerning signs I mentioned, getting a vet's opinion is important. I’d recommend booking a video consult with us here at Dial A Vet so we can assess your cat’s condition more thoroughly.



Take care!
