What care do I give a cat wound?

Answer by  turkishtowel (455)

Clean the wound thoroughly, apply a non-stinging antiseptic to prevent infection. The only issue will be the cat's propensity for wanting to lick the wound. If the cat won't leave the wound alone, you may need to put one of those cones on his head. If the wound is serious, take him to a vet.

Depending on how deep the wound is, or the type of wound, you might need to take the cat to a veterinarian. A puncture wound is especially serious in a cat as it may abscess. If the wound is open, you could try cleaning it and using antibiotic cream.

What care to give your cat's wound depends on the severity of the wound.If it's a small scratch,then pull the loose hair away from the wound and just keep an eye on it.If there's a larger wound,or if it gets infected,the best thing is to take your cat to the vet.

If it is not serious treat it as you would human wound and wash it well, you can use peroxide it is not deep and then bandage it if need or leave it alone but keep it clean.

If it is serious take the cat to the vet. Otherwise bathe minor wounds several times a day with iodine.
