Hi, made an account because I wanted some advise!
Two days ago I noticed a small round would on my cats shoulder with the immediate area cleared of fur. it didn't appear to be bothering him, there was no pus or blood and it didn't smell. I cleaned it up and have been checking it everyday and its been healing fine.
Until today when I went to check it after dinner I noticed a SECOND larger wound a few inches below it.
I'm probably going to take him to the vet because I have a heath plan so the visit is free.
I just wanted some advise from those wiser than I because it could be a few days before I can take him in.
Some other information, he is an indoor/outdoor cat, male, around 5 years old and has all his shots but he has never come home with wounds like this, only smaller cuts with no balding around the wound that healed in 3 days.
I might try to keep him inside for a couple days but he gets really unreasonable and starts peeing on peoples stuff.
This is the healing wound
This is the brand new wound
Thanks for any advise!!
