Hi everyone,
First I have to say that I will be taking my cat to the Vet next week, but I am just wondering if anyone here has any good advice to help me. I have 2 male cats that are about to turn 9yrs on Halloween. They fight like any other animals, but I am noticing large cuts on Domi. He seems to have dried blood on either side of his neck, near his tail and I noticed a big almost open gash on the back of his neck (he can't reach this spot). I have never though anything of this because they usually heal fine, but I am starting to get worried about this.
Do you think they could heal on their own or is there a chance they could get infected? My boys are both indoor cats and are not around any other animals. I put some ointment on the large cut last night because he can't reach it to lick it, so I figured there was no harm.
Just wondering.
Thanks a bunch.
