My cat licks his ear and belly, needs shots, but I'm on a budget.

He definitely must see a vet as he needs an antibiotic injection, i can't recommend any home treatment in this case i'm afraid, it would be irresponsible from my part. If money is an issue please contact a cat charity in your area of living, they can help with costs of treatment in many cases. Many vets also have payment plans, and there is also a credit company that will land you money toward vet bills ( https://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/) .

This presentation could be due to a trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). The area should be shaved first and washed profusely with clean water. Disinfection can be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths twice daily. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking/scratching. Sudocream or zinc oxide cream can be applied on the wound after cleaning and drying it up. Keep him indoors and keep in touch for updates. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Your cat may have an ear infection or Earmites. This really should be seen by a vet to get the correct treatment. Try cleaning her ears with a solution of 50% water/50% white vinegar. Moisten a cotton ball and wipe only the visible portion of the ear. DO NOT push the cotton ball down into the ear canal, and DO NOT fill the ear canal with liquid, this can cause nerve damage. This may make her feel a little more comfortable, but probably won't cure her condition. If you are in financial difficulty, there are ways of still getting your pet treated by a veterinarian.

You need to get him to the vet for an exam. You cannot get him vaccinated if he has an upper respiratory infection and an ear infection. Those have to be taken care of first. I don't recommend using Mullien Tea in your cat's ear. Your best option is to try to Google low cost vet clinics in your area. You can also try your local humane society - they often have low cost vet clinics attached to them.

It definitely sounds like Halo needs some medical attention. If that's not possible, try to gentle rinse it with a very mild soapy water and rinse well. Then put an e-collar on him so he can't lick it, and keep him inside to try to keep it cleaner. It sounds like the wound might already be infected, but it could possibly heal on it's own if kept clean. Being a young guy works in his favor here. Good luck!

Poor Sisi! I'm very sorry she may have gotten shot! Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home. She will need x-rays to see if she has been shot, surgery to remove the bullet, and medications to treat the pain and avoid infection. Please do not give her any human pain medications, many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. She has to see vet now. I would see if your vet will accept payment plans, or if there is a low cost clinic in your area. I'm not sure if there are any rescue organizations in Lebanon, but if there are, you could contact them for help as well.
