My cat has a skin wound on his back. How can I treat it at home?

You can use this wound spray gel, 3-4 times per day on the affected area. If she starts to act sick at any time (not eating, very lethargic, vomiting, etc) then she needs to see a vet. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-cat-wound-and-skin-hydrogel

If you are able to handle the cat you can try using this wound gel topically every day until it is healed. ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-cat-wound-and-skin-hydrogel ) Honestly, antibiotics (either oral or injectable) may be needed to get this to clear up so if the wound gel does not work then you need to get him to a vet for an exam.

That could be one of many things: * trauma/injury * bacterial infection * ringworm * burn Hard to say. I suggest you apply this topical wound gel for about 7-10 days. If no improvement or it gets worse then your vet needs to see it.

The first step in wound treatment is to get the hair out of the way. You will need to use clippers to clip a wide area around the wound - you can't use scissors or a razor, you have to use the buzzing type of clippers. The next step is disinfection. I recommend using a first aid chlorhexidine scrub to gently rub into the wound, and wash copiously with clean water. You only need to do this once. The third step is to prevent Gio from licking the wound. Licking spreads bacteria and decreases the rate of healing. You will have to buy an e-collar or cone for her to wear since cats are very flexible and a bandage will not be able to stay in place on this area of her body. You can apply Neosporin ointment twice a day, making sure she doesn't lick it off. If you follow these steps, small wounds will often heal on their own. If the wound has already been infected, or continues to swell, oozes a creamy discharge, or he has a rectal temperature above 103 (normal is 100-102.5), Gio will need prescription antibiotics to allow the wound to heal.

Great question! I would gently clean Tit with warm water and antiseptic soap. To keep him from licking at it, you can put an Ecollar on him. You can get one at a pet store or make one at home. Keep the wound clean and dry, and monitor it for signs of infection. If you see redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, or pus, then it is infected and Boy will need to see the vet for antibiotics to treat it. I hope this helps!

Please clean this with hydrogen peroxide then apply a thin film of antibacterial ointment on it. Skin wounds on cats heal quickly as long as they stay open to the air so no infection builds up under the skin.

These sound like wounds from being in a bad fight with another cat. It’s best to have these treated by your veterinarian if you can. In the meantime clean each wound with hydrogen peroxide and then apply a thin film of antibacterial ointment on them. I’m concerned about the ones around his anus. There may be a tear in the rectum that may be very serious and need a veterinary exam to determine if the feces are coming out the wound. If so this could cause more infection and may need to be stitched closed. Antibiotics will help these wounds heal more quickly also.
