Skin Irritation Question?

[kysa]

Our 4 month old kitten loves to tussle with her sister cats & keeps getting eye irritation eyebrow area. Has anyone used vit E oil to help heal it? She tends to scratch at it occasionally while it tries to heal, but they keep tussling & re-irritates the area. Thanks.

Hi! Something else you could try would be chamomile tea - from @Mamanyt1953

You may get some relief for her with a wash of chamomile tea. Purchase the bags in the coffee/tea aisle of almost any grocery store. Do not buy a blend, buy JUST CHAMOMILE. Brew it, chill it in the fridge, and apply to the "ouchies" with a soft cloth or a cotton ball. You can do this several times a day. Since it is used internally for calming, it won't hurt a thing if she or her sisters grooms it off and ingests small amounts. Chamomile has both antibacterial and antifungal properties, so it may also help protect those raw areas.

Farm supply stores sell several wound medications to help with the healing. Such as Tractor Supply, Orschelns and many others. Just make sure it is for cats.
