Kitten Keeps Scratching a Sore

RE: Kitten Keeps Scratching a Sore By dcsprsmm (Guest Post) You can buy a liquid spray bandage to help keep things out of it while it heals. This also contains a small pain reliever so it will stop some of the babies scratching.

Just so you know. Your vet will help you know when to administer parasiticides, because my cow had those and I gave her medicines at the wrong time and the larvae died there. The vet said I should have let that batch fly away and then prevent the next batch. I had to rip out those big dead larvae myself, one by one. Sorry for the gross message, guess it's a roundabout way of saying 'your kitty needs her vet'.

That is what ended up being my cat's problem. Either way, I agree that you should get her to the vet. My cat needed allergy shots!

Using medication made for humans is not a good idea to use on animals without first researching on the internet (or asking a vet). Many are toxic to our animal friends.

You can buy it at Wal-mart or any pharmacy. Hope this helps. ~Janette~ Posted on 10/13/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Keeps Scratching a Sore By joxcermom (1) Contact Since she was feral she may have gotten a parasite under the skin. Do take her to a vet. Let them know if money is tight- good luck.

You should seriously consider a visit to the vet-not only could the area get infected (which the pus indicates), she could have a mange mites infestation or a skin disease that requires a bit more than you can do at home. I found a cat 2 years ago that was covered with sores and bald patches. It took 2 rounds of shots to eradicate the mites she was infected with, plus surgery to remove a patch of skin that she'd scratched and chewed at till it had nerve damage. Now she is has beautiful silky fur and seems quite happy not to be constantly scratching herself! At any rate, go to the vet! (And please, discuss spaying your cat with the vet.) If you feel it is expensive, you might contact your local shelter/humane society to find veterinarians that charge lower prices for their services. Some humane societies offer coupons for some vet services. Some vets will trade goods and services-I used to own a video store, and my vet had small kids who liked movies. Worked out great for us both till his kids grew up and left home! Posted on 10/10/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Keeps Scratching a Sore By cora-sue (Guest Post) It sounds like a warble. You need to take her to the vet. Cats are bad about getting them and they are usually on their necks. Posted on 10/10/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
