Hello. I don't know what this is..I'm using Neosporin on it but it won't go away. I thought it was a wound but now I'm not sure. What does it look like?

Hello, can you attach a photo of what you are describing?

If it's serious, please bring your kitty to the vet for a professional diagnosis and treatment instead which will help your cat heal faster and less worries for you. .

It would be best to take your cat to the vet for treatment of the wound. At the least, call the vet and ask for advice. Some vets will do a quick consult and some even respond to emails with a picture of the issue.

Is your cat indoors only? How long has the wound been there?

Yes she's an indoor cat. The wound wasn't there a couple days ago. I don't know how she got this. And if it was bleeding before I would have noticed it.

And of course I will take her to a vet. I was just wondering how to make her feel better. The wound must be itchy..

Just keep the wound clean with water as needed. You may want to put a cone on the cat to keep her from possibly scratching at her head and making the wound worse.

Is there anything in your home that could have caused an injury? A recliner chair, mattress box springs (cats love to claw their way into those things), something in the basement?
