Hi there,
I was hoping I could draw upon your collect expertise for some advice on what to do with my cat who has a nasty mark on her face. I’ve attached a photo.
She’s 10 years old and does go outdoors. Two days ago I noticed a small cut on her whiskers which, over the last few days, has spread larger. I can only think it has spread because she’s been licking it and pawing at her whilst she cleans.
If she showed any obvious signs of pain, of course I would’ve taken her to a vets but she’s her usual self; affectionate, greedy, etc. No signs of anything actually wrong.
It’s very difficult to actually do anything myself because, as affectionate as she is, she doesn’t like being picked up and as you can see from the location of it, it’s hard to clean because it’s around her whiskers. When I did swab it with some water, it felt dry and crusty and on top of the skin, rather than dug her inside her face!
What do you guys think?
Thanks v much!
