Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your feline friend's little mishap! It’s understandable to feel worried, but it’s great that you're paying close attention to your kitty’s needs. Cats often forgive easily, so don't worry too much about him being scared of you. Let's focus on getting him well.
Firstly, you’ll want to clean the wound very gently to reduce the risk of infection. Use a saline solution or clean water with a soft cloth to dab on the area. Be sure to keep him calm and reassure him with gentle speaking. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or alcohol, as these can irritate the wound and delay healing.
Keep an eye on the wound for signs of redness, swelling, or discharge, which could indicate infection. Also, monitor his behavior for changes in eating, drinking, or if he starts grooming excessively or hiding more than usual.
If the wound looks deep or continues to bleed, or any of these signs appear, it’s best to seek professional advice quickly.
Consider scheduling a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. They can take a look and guide you through further steps to ensure your cat's health and happiness.

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
