Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your question. It's completely appropriate—and important—to disclose any bite encounters your cat has had, especially when discussing their health with a veterinarian or any boarding facility. Bite incidents can carry the risk of infection or transmission of diseases, like feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) or feline leukemia virus (FeLV), which are spread through deep bite wounds.
If your cat has recently been in a scuffle and has any wounds, it’s a good idea to gently clean the area with warm water and monitor for signs of infection, such as swelling, redness, or a foul odor. Keep an eye out for behavioral changes as well—like lethargy or loss of appetite—as these can be signs of a deeper issue needing immediate attention.
If your cat's wound seems to be healing well and they’re acting normally, that's a great sign. However, don't hesitate to reach out if you're worried or notice any of the concerning symptoms I mentioned. It’s always better to be safe and get a professional’s opinion.
Feel free to book a video consult with one of our vets through Dial A Vet. They can provide more personalized advice and help ensure your furry friend stays healthy and happy. Take care!

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
