We have a stray cat we have adopted. He came to our backdoor with a
cut behind his ear. It has scabed over a couple of times and when it
looks like it is going to heal, he scratched off the scab anad we are
back to square one. Is there anything we can put on the scab to keep
it from irritated him?

Thanks


The problem is purely mechanical - the cat naturally will try to remove
foreign bodies ie the scab. The fact that a scab has formed means the
cat's own defense system is fixing the problem if it is dry and not
weeping. So the solution to the problem is to prevent the cat from
getting to the scab. You may need something like this

Your vet may have some other mechanical solution
