hiya, kipper is my laid back boy, but friday when i came home from work i could hear some cat 'shouting' going on outside, about an hour later, kipper turned up with a nice scratched ear, and a couple of blood patches, and covered in slugs!
so i have a look and he's squaking at me and holding it sideways, my other half was working late so off i trot down to the vets to get them to have a look and get it cleaned up, anti b jab and a clean up later, vet confirms its a bite wound, but keep it clean and it should heal just fine.
yeah right! last night in he strolls with it oozing ( at breakfast it was looking good!) so i clean with more boiled water then some hibiscrub, but it was still really yuck, so i took him back to the vets, looks like an abcess, she's now shaved his ear, it looks awful, she thinks it will heal but be deformed now, there are 4 tooth holes that were oozing, and a slice at the base of his ear too.
my question is, how else should i help clean it? now its shaved, the bleeding stopped and now its all rock hard! ive just been using warm water, which he isnt very pleased about ( in the vets he sat like an angel!!) im covered in scratches, he sits with a hump on afterwards, but its better than him having it all build up again!!!!
any suggestions to help it?? hes now on clavaseptin aswell as his jab, and had a anti inflam jab too last night. he is back tomorrow night to have it all checked, but dont want to bemaking it worse!!!
