Getting bigger is not good. He is clearly still licking it. A lick granuloma is a lot harder to fix than a burn. still, the vet will sort it out ...

update


Well, the owie has gotten bigger and looks gross (peeling/scabby) but no sign of infection  :)

Have temporarily switched him completely onto his dry food as then he isn't licking the jelly off his face so much afterwards... such a *delicate* eater my Indy... falls in face first and slurps.

Misha is going back to the vets Christmas Eve so will take Indy along for a look over, piece of mind, Angie (the vet) wasn't too fussed when she saw it before, only worried that he would worry it.

We are also fairly certain it was the radiator as he is now avoiding it, and it was his favourite place in the whole world. Our heating is about 40 years old and certain pipes do get hot enough to burn  :-: so we are getting some lumber after Christmas and boxing the pipes in

have nothing suitable for cats, all dog stuff and a lot contain iodine and teatree. The teatree ointment does say suitable for cats but toxic if injested, so no good where the scrape is

am gonna phone vets in the morning and see if Angie (my fave of the two vets) can drop by on her way home as she lives in the next village over

Do you have any metacam?, it might take away the soreness and stop him worrying it.

tricky spot to stop him from licking it. If he persists then the vet can give him an injection to reduce the irritation. Best to do that before licking becomes a habit...

Ouch! that looks tender. Doubt he did it on the radiator though. Gone are the days when radiators got that hot. Though I do remember Meredith Barker in grade 2 got a nasty burn on her ankle when they were those long pipes around the edge of the room - now they were nasty! Very useful for drying your gloves on though!!

Looks like a friction burn or graze?

Poor baby  :ahh:

Indy has hurt his nose and I don't know how... was fine earlier today

He is really miserable but I can't get him into a vet appointment tomorrow so it has to wait til open surgery monday if it is looking any worse/not improving and if he stays so subdued, but I don't think it's bad enough to call a vetout for yet. If obviously he gets worse/he is worse in himself then I may have to call the vet though

I am wondering if he has burnt it on the radiator where he snuggles up when the heating is on?
