The cat's skin is festering. What should I do?

Cat skin ulceration may be caused by wound inflammation or fungal infection, which needs symptomatic treatment.

Cat skin ulceration may be caused by the following reasons: first, there is a wound on the cat's skin, and then the wound is festered and suppurated after being infected with bacteria. In addition to oral anti-inflammatory drugs, debridement is also needed during treatment. First, soak gauze piece in physiological saline or chlorhexidine solution and apply it to the affected area. When the pus has melted, it should be washed with normal saline and coated with some drugs for removing putrefaction and promoting granulation, such as Bailing Jinfang and Chuangyangling. Then repeat the above actions according to the wound condition. The owner can also take the cat to the hospital for debridement and treatment with antibacterial drugs. Second, cats infected with parasites and fungi have not been treated in time, resulting in redness and ulceration of the skin. They should go to the hospital to find out the cause and treat the syndrome in time. It is best to put a collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the wound, clean up the cat's living environment, and be careful when touching other people's cats.
