Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice regarding my cat.
Back in early December, he got into a scrap with another cat and was injured near his tail. I took him to the vet around the 3rd of December, where they gave him stitches.
The problem was that the stitches ended up coming out and the wound reopened. I had to book another appointment, and this time the vet used staples. The wound finally healed up well around the 18th of December.
Then, around the beginning of March or April, I noticed a small lump in the same place. I went back to the vet, who prescribed some antibiotics, and the lump disappeared.
But now, at the end of April, I’ve just noticed that the area has swollen up massively, much more than before. I’ve booked an appointment for tomorrow.
I’m quite worried; I’m scared he might need an operation. I’m thinking it might be an abscess, but I’m not sure.
Has anyone else dealt with something like this before?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
