Hi all,
I've been away for a while (friends watching kitty), and kitty has been outside a lot. When I returned last night, I noticed a wound near base of his tail (on top), missing fur, smelling a little fecal, with a hole in center which seeemed to have a little pus. He may seem a little more lethergic, but he's eating, drinking, pooping, etc., and moving around. He's also been licking that spot a lot.
Today the hole seems to have closed up a bit. He seems a little better. I have a vet appt scheduled for later today, but wondering...how often do these heal on their own? Should I wait a day or two? Or take him to the vet today? Thanks for advice!!!
