When cats are playful or get into fights with other cats, they may end up with wounds. These wounds can’t be ignored as they might lead to serious issues like pus and inflammation if not treated. Here’s a guide to help you treat your cat’s wound:
-
Put on an Elizabethan Collar：
-
If the wound is severe, the cat may be in a lot of pain and might even attack when touched. First, put an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from biting people. Then, trim the cat’s nails and apply hydrogen peroxide to the wound for basic disinfection. During this process, you can use small treats to distract the cat and keep it calm.

-
Bandage the Wound：
-
After basic disinfection, prepare some gauze and tape. Apply an appropriate amount of Pet Speed Healing to the wound, then press a cotton pad against it and secure it with two strips of tape. Wrap a layer of gauze around it and tape it up. This method ensures the bandage stays in place while the cat walks around. Remember to change the gauze and apply new medication daily until the wound heals.

Nutritional Support：
-
Just like humans, cats need nutritious food to recover from injuries. Feed your cat high – quality cat food, goat milk, cat canned food, and eggs to boost its immune system and speed up wound healing. Avoid taking your cat out until the wound is fully healed to prevent further injury or infection.

-
Monitor the Wound：
-
Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge. If the cat shows discomfort or the wound doesn’t improve, consult a veterinarian.
-
-
Environmental Comfort：
-
Provide a clean and quiet environment for the cat to rest and recover. Avoid stressing the cat during this period.
-
By following these steps, you can help your cat recover from a wound. If you’re unsure about the severity of the wound or the cat’s condition, always seek professional veterinary advice.
