    Default Ahhh My Cat Is Hurt!

    He's an outdoor cat and he just came in and is very lethargic, and has a small gash on his leg. I checked to make sure nothing was broken, he just seems to want to lay down and be left alone. I put some ointment on his wound but there isn't much else I can do. His food is not on the recall list either. Any ideas?

    Is he bleeding alot? You can wash it and put antibacterial ointment on it and wrap it until you get to the vet in the morning. Even if they dont do much to it it would be worth it to have them take a look at it to make sure he's alright. I hope he's not in much pain..maybe they can give him kitty pain killers. Give him lots of love and make sure he eats. When animals stop eating its a bad sign they really are feeling really bad.

    Cat bites are deceptive- if another cat bit him, it could have caused a very deep puncture...The problem with these is that they close up very quickly, so it's hard to tell how deep/ severe the cut is.

    Maybe get him checked out. That'd be my advice...Note if he's eating or drinking. If he won't eat, chances are he needs vet attention.

    I hope your kitty gets better!

    Right now he's laying on the bed by me, I've put ointment on his wound. When my BF lifted him up (I can't) he cried so I don't know if there is a pain in his stomach or ribs or what.

    He could have gotten in a bad fight, or even been hit by a car and have internal injuries. My advice would be to get him to an emergency vet NOW...or at the very least get him straight there first thing in the morning. And def keep him inside.

    Cats are very stoic animals and do not show it when they are in pain or discomfort. If your cat is showing that much discomfort, he is in EXTREME pain and needs to see a vet at the soonest possible moment.

    My bf called. His leg has an infection and he has a fever, so I'm guessing that was why he was lethargic. I'm hoping that's all.

    Edited to add: He's being sent home, it's just an infection and a fever.

    Unfortuantely this is common with outside cats.. They have half the life expectancy of indoor cats and a better chance of getting sick or hurt.
    aw, hope he feels better, I am a freak when my babies get hurt or sick.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Has your kitty had his shots? Hopefully he wasn't attacked by a diseased animal. If you could get him to kitty emergency right away, that would be a good move. You probalby already know that kitty leukemia is contagious and a rabies vaccine is always a good thin.

    That's my "Pantera" in my avatar. After I had him for only three days, I took him to the vet and got all his bloodwork done and paid for every vaccine a cat needs. Expensive, yeah....but a nice piece of mind.

    It's great to hear that he is OK. Poor little kitty--he is lucky he has you and is not a stray that would die in the bushes.

    Yup he's currently locked in our spare room sleeping away. He's finally purring again which is a good sign, he doesn't appreciate the yucky medicine though.

    Just in case you didnt know, for future reference....cats can purr when they are afraid or sick as well. Its not just a sign of happiness when cats purr. Although yes, most of the time it is....there are cirsumstances when cats are purring for another reason becide contentment.


    I am glad he is all better, and everything will be ok.

    Yeah I'm just saying it's probably good because he wouldn't purr at all until he went to the vet got his wound cleaned and got on antibiotics, so hopefully it's a good thing!

    Are his antibiotics in pill form? I had to give my cat pills recently but the vet gave me these "Pill Pocket" things - they're treats with a little hole to stick the pill in. My cat LOVED them. It got to be, when he'd hear the pill bottle shaking he'd come running to get it. (He also remembered what drawer they were in & would try to open it.)
