Today our spyhnx (hairless) cat was in a fight with another. She received several long scratches and several puncture wounds. Nothing too deep or bleeding too much but the puncture wound area (left side towards the rear) is very sore. While she lets us clean the scratches and apply ointment she hisses and screams when we try and touch the puncture areas.
She has been sleeping most of the last six hours since the fight. We just tried to get her up and she doesn't want to. Finally she did get up moments ago, drank alot of water and ate some food. Now that she has done that she wants to be left alone. A friend said she's probably just very sore and should be okay after a night's rest. Anyone have any helpful thoughts/opinions? Very concerned about the punctures and her reaction. Perhaps this is normal behaviour. She's never had this happen so we're all experiencing it for the first time and are nervous. She does have all her shots.
