Hello there! It sounds like you're concerned about a wound on your cat, and I’m here to help. Cats can pick up wounds from a variety of sources—perhaps a scrap with another cat, a sharp object, or even an insect bite.
First, try to gently examine the wound. If it's a small cut or scrape, you can clean it with some warm water and a mild antiseptic that is safe for cats. Be sure not to use anything with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol, as these can irritate their skin.
Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge. Cats have a knack for hiding how they're feeling, but if your kitty seems to be in pain, is excessively licking the wound, or stops eating or drinking, those are signals to act quickly.
If the wound is deep, bleeding heavily, or showing signs of infection, it's important to seek veterinary advice promptly. Small issues can escalate quickly in our feline friends, so it’s always better to be safe.
Consider booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet, just to ensure everything is on the right track. We can give you tailored advice and next steps to keep your furry friend healthy and happy. Looking forward to helping you and your kitty further!

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
