Wounds in cats
Wounds in cats are common and can come in all shapes and sizes.
Uncomplicated cuts and grazes that are small can sometimes be treated at home. Deep or bite wounds may need medication or surgery if they are serious or if there is a risk of infection. These types of wounds need to be seen immediately by a veterinarian:
Snake bites
Burns
Deep wounds and wounds where the bone is visible
Wounds that involve the abdominal or chest cavity
Wounds that have a lot of bleeding or bleeding that is not stopping within 10 minutes
Wounds that involve the eye
The mouths of cats are full of bacteria - up to 600 different types.
It is important to stop your pet from licking wounds.
Infection can occur as a result of licking, biting, or scratching at the wound.
