Hi everyone,
This is my first post (simply because I need some advice really quickly!), so I hope this is okay.
I don't usually worry too much about my cat's frequent scrapes and scratches, but today is different:
Filou was treated for poisoning last week. He's still been a bit weak, and today he came home covered in injuries. Nothing too alarming at first, but looking closer, he’s got a painful abscess between his ears, and while checking him over, I noticed his shoulder is very tender. I had a feel and it was awful!
When I touch his shoulder, it feels like there’s bubbly fluid under the skin, BUT IT ACTUALLY MAKES A SOUND! 😯 When I touch it, it sounds just like crinkling paper. It’s such a strange noise and really worrying. When I pinch the area, the fluid feels like it has 'lumps' in it... My parents aren't sure what to do. Should we take him to the vet? Have any of you ever come across an injury like this before?
Please let me know as soon as possible in case it’s something serious! ;)
