Please i need experts advice2007-11-25 12:25:06

i am totally sad. Two days back one of my cats was surrounded by three street dogs. They smashed him before we could save him. He was severely wounded near the stomach area. The dogs have bitten him . There were two big injuries of atleast an inch deep. The blood has clotted.Yesterday we took him to the hospital.They gave him a ARV(Anti Rabies Vaccine) and cleaned the wound with tincher and applied an white paste. two days my cat did not take any food. i had to make him take some milk with a quarter of a tablet mixed in it. The doctor gave a cream (I think its some sulphate cream for preventing bacteria) and adviced me to apply in the wounds. I did that perfectly, but my cat shouts in pain and soon after shouting its cleaning the wound. my bothering is that will the cream go inside his mouth and cause any side effects? will it do any harm? please answer me.

Answers:

The doctor wouldn't have given you anything that would harm your cat if it engested it. They know cats clean themselves quite often. If it is really bothering you that bad, go back to the doctor with the cat.

Tell your vet the cat seems to be in a lot of pain and is licking the wound. Some pain may be normal but the doctor may want to give you an Elizabethan collar so that the cat cannot get to the spot to lick it.
