Paganman Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Mag got a nasty scratch off a cat this morning.He was sniffing at a bush and the next minute this cat comes flying at him and now hes got 4 gouges down his nose.There was quite a bit of blood. Ive washed it in salt water and it looks ok is this anything to worry about or will he need abs.Someone told me once that cat scratchs often get infected.

Diva Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think they are prone to infection if they are deep and the top heals over while infection festers underneath. If they are not too deep I'd just keep doing what you are doing. Poor boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Applying some Paw Paw Ointment after the salt water wash might help (soothing & healing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
