Does your cat like to play rough with other cats or animals in the home? What about outdoors? Does he climb trees, hide in bushes and shrubs, and pretty much run all over the neighborhood? Cats can be independent creatures, but when they’re out and about they can sometimes get hurt. Minor cuts or scrapes are common with a cat’s lifestyle outdoors. If your cat comes home with a cut, check to make sure it’s not deep. If it is, then you’ll need to call the vet. Smaller or minor cuts can most likely be treated at home. First, stop any type of bleeding by covering the area with a cloth or bandage. Once the bleeding has stopped, gently wash the cut with a warm cloth, soap and water or a pet wound cleanser like Vetericyn. Dab or pat the wound dry. Be careful not to rub it. Next, apply a topical anti-bacterial ointment approved by your professional veterinary clinic Covington GA.
