What should I do if I have an open sore on a cat?

Answer by  sinrez (63)

Cleaning the cats open sore using betadine and hydrogen peroxide is usually the best way to help keep the wound from becomming infected.

Clean the sore with Hydrogen Peroxide and then apply Neosporin to the sore. This cleaning should take place 2 to 3 times per day. Any more than that and the peroxide can dry the skin out. If there is not a noticeable improvement or a worsening of the sore, contact a veterinarian.

Disinfect with diluted peroxide and apply Polysporin. Repeat 2-3 times a day, if it doesn't get better within a reasonable time (think of your wounds) see your vet.

If the sore is mild, gently clean it using a plain cloth and lukewarm salt water. If the sore is very raw and red, take the cat to a vet.
