Cat Wound Care

  • Cats are just as susceptible to everyday minor injuries as any other animal. Many cuts (lacerations), bruises (contusions), and scrapes (abrasions) are not life threatening and will heal with little treatment. Other wounds can be severe enough to require sutures and more intense emergency care. Wounds can come from bumping or hitting hard or sharp objects, avoiding cars, attacks from animals, and other dangers. What you can do at home is ultimately up to your cat. Sometimes the only thing you can do is wrap your cat in a towel or put him in a carrier and take him straight to your veterinarian. There are, however, a few things you can do if your cat will let you, especially if it may be a while before you can get to your veterinarian. There are cat wound care products that can help you care for your cat.

    My cat got in a cat fight or something and has been avoiding home for a while. I finally got my cat back and she had a big scape on her back, and my family doesn't have the finances to be able to go to the vet. I'm going to take a shower and then put a bandage on her or something. It looks infected, I'm so scared for her! Let's see how this goes...

    I have a stray that we have been feeding for a couple of years. He will hang out for a minute come back every morning and every afternoon. From time to time he would come with a couple of wounds that would heel. But 3 weeks ago he got a nasty wound I’m assuming from a fight, I tried to spray an antiseptic for animals but he ran and did return a couple of days. Finally he came back now skin hanging in two areas it’s smelly and he won’t let us get near home. I just keep feeding home and hope he will be alright. Sighhh

    So i bought a collar for my cat and a few days after I put it on him I decided to take it off and I noticed a little scrape on him under his neck and it wasn't there before so I got a damp wash clothe and held it on the scrape for about 5 mins. I do not know if that's the correct thing to do but he kept giving me kitty hugs after as if he was thanking me. So if anyone knows if that's what your meant to do please reply to this.

    My cat goes insane to tear the e-collar off. He will growl and roll around kicking it continuously until he gets it off. I think he would break his own neck trying to remove it. The wound in his ear went from sesame seed size and is now the size of a penny. It will likely consume his ear because he wont stop scratching it. A month from now it's likely his ear will just be torn away a scratch at a time. No medicine or oil or Aloe I put on the wound helps. Sad... he was a beautiful cat. Now a big piece of his ear is gone.

      shrimp I know that you posted this a month ago, but if that ever happens to you again here are some tips. First you should get the stray into a controlled environment such as a bathroom or laundry room if it is skittish or scared. It’s okay if you can’t do this though. I would cover its face with a towel and hold the cat still, if the wound is bleeding a lot get something like paper towels to use to put pressure on it, then you should try to clean the fur around it and the wound itself, hydrogen peroxide and cotton balls are ideal, if you don’t have any then just use water. Idk if this helps but it would make me feel better to know what to do in this situation.
