I was just wondering if any of you had some advice for poor little Kareem. He has 2 open sores on his back. He has lost all of the hair suurounding these sore, presumably from licking them so often. I try to stop him from licking these sores, but hes a stubborn boy and regardless of my constant watching he continues to lick them. Kareem was seen by the vet a couple of weeks ago regarding this and the vet picked off the scabs- yes they were almost healed- and applied some sort of ointment. Now they seem to be worse than ever. Each sore is about the size of a quarter. I intend to take him to the vet in the morning. A different vet of course. But I wondered if anyone has encountered this with their cat? Quite often they look as though they are healing and then with his perisistant licking of them they turn red and weepy. Can you please give me your thoughts on this. Wondering if he will need a steroid injection of some kind. I can't tell if they are itchy or if they are just painful for him.
Thanks for listening, Kareemsbuddy
