hi, my cat dizzy was injured about two weeks ago (may 11) as he was involved in a cat fight with a feral cat. The feral cat scratched or bit him on his head. I immediately cleaned his wounds and tried to disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide and a q-ti
No, it does not really look infected. Peroxide is only good after the initial injury - after that, if you continue to use it, it will delay healing. I suggest you use this spray gel on it instead: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-antimicrobial-feline-facial-therapy-for-cats His left eye also looks weepy so I think you should get this eye gel too: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-pet-ophthalmic-gel

I asked about my cats cuts the other day and i did everything that was suggested and its starting to look better and he is also more active hes eating and drinking taking his meds i got from the vet an antibiotic and then they also gave us some pads
I understand your predicament. I think this will heal if you just continue to keep the wounds clean and moist. I don't know what was previously recommended but I would suggest this spray. But with oral antibiotics and medications you got from the vet he should heal OK. I'm assuming the $600 was to have surgery to put stitches in the wound?? https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-cat-wound-and-skin-hydrogel

My cat was fighting with another cat yesterday he has a open wound next to his ear there was pus there but Now gone he keeps washing it I have took a photo of it I can't afford to take him to a vet so what can I do
Unfortunately most of the times antibiotics are needed to avoid severe infection. If you cannot afford a veterinarian disinfection can eventually be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid scratching. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I have a feral cat with a wound and not sure how to handle it
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.

Hi I’d first like to thank you all at Boop by Petco for all your help and advice! I asked a question earlier about tumil-k for tony and if there would be side effects.? I wanted to clarify that tony does not have kidney disease .. my vet says his po
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Based on the pictures you provided, I suspect this may be a bacterial skin infection. This may have been a pustule that has ruptured. I would recommend using the below products, which can all be found online quite easily. If these do not help, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Lalo if possible so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. 1. Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area 2-3 times per day until resolved 3. Welactin omega 3 fish oil 4.
