Kitty Stella keeps hurting herself!
Hi,
My cat Stella scratched her neck and created a wound. Now everytime it scabs over, it itches her and she scratches it off. I'm afraid it will never heal or get infected. Other than keeping her claws trimmed (which doesn't seem to make a difference) what can I do? Thanks! J and Stella |

enlightened us with... Hi, My cat Stella scratched her neck and created a wound. Now everytime it scabs over, it itches her and she scratches it off. I'm afraid it will never heal or get infected. Other than keeping her claws trimmed (which doesn't seem to make a difference) what can I do? Go to the vet and get some cream to ward off both the itching and the infection. Then have them bandage the wound so it heals without being scratched. If you can't afford the vet, get some Bacitracin and bandages from Walmart, but be careful that Stella can't lick any of it off, as it isn't exactly good for her to ingest. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ All I ask for is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |

My 4yr old cat, Bender. has a spot on her neck that she licks until she is
bald (about the size of a wet quarter). Our vet put her on prenisolone (it is a cream in a syringe that you can put into her ears) to ease the itching and now her fur is growing back quite nicely. Incidentally it is worst in the spring. I think she has some type of spring allergy. Hope this Helps Kris "jen" wrote in message om... Hi, My cat Stella scratched her neck and created a wound.
