Hi all,
My name is Liz and I have 2 mixed breed female cats. Tessy is 16 months old, and Zekie is 10 months old. They are still my little kittens.
Tessy and Zekie get along wonderfully well with Tessy being the dominant cat in the family. They play fight a lot and chase eachother around, and usually it's not a huge problem.
Last night my husband noticed a fairly big bleeding spot on Tessy. Looking at it today (I was asleep last night when he noticed it). The bleeding had stopped, and the bruise looks like it is about a 1/2 cm long by a 1/2 cm tall, and is circular in shape on her face near her nose.
I'm concerned about it, and my vet office is closed today. I don't want to bring her to an emergency place if I'm over-reacting about it.
My real cause for concerned, is Tessy found a way to get up on top of our tall china cabinet (where we keep the bag of catnip). She's been jumping up there all weekend and then jumping down. So I'm concerned that the injury happened when she jumped down to the floor.
I'm sorry my first post is so serious, but I don't know what to do. Should I just use some peroxide and clean up the wound? Or is this something that is emergency vet worthy?
