My cat was attacked by a dog. What medicine can I give for her bite wounds?

Oh my. Dog bite wounds need to be treated by a medical professional. I would highly recommend taking Drugs in to your local veterinarian right away for medical care and attention. She needs antibiotics and proper cleaning and possibly suturing of her wounds based on how deep and extensive they are. Here is a financial assistance website that may be of assitance if needed. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html Bset of luck and take care with your pet Drugs.

Yes, it is an excellent course of treatment, you just have to make sure that the wound does not create a big abscess, in that case it will need to be lanced, opened and cleaned under sedation, but as you caught it early this treatment should be more than enough.

This type of wounds must be considered always infected. A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor kitten! Even though you are correct that this kitten likely needs antibiotics it needs to be prescribed by a Vet who can examine the kitten. We are not allowed to prescribe medications by law without a valid Veterinary Client Patient Relationship requires an examination. Cats are miraculous healers and if the kitten is eating and will allow you to clean the wound you can do that. Just be sure that you do not get bitten as you do not know the Rabies status of the kitten. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/cat-amoxi/ I wish you the best!

I would strongly recommend taking her to your vet as she will need to have an antibiotic injection to prevent an infection from surely happening. the are should be clipped and clean as much as possible but a course of antibiotics is crucial.

A picture of the wound is needed (you can attach it on the question) to be able to give you a specific answer recommending specific medications. Please post again the question and attach a pic of the wound.

Yes. I would recommend to take her to the vet. The doctor will likely put her on antibiotics to try to clean up the infection. You also need to make sure that she is not licking at the area as this can make it worse. She should wear an Elizabethan collar at all times and be kept indoors completely until the wound is completely healed. I hope she feels better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
