Cat scratched off fur due to new collar
I am currently in a country that does not give a microchip option. I plan to
do that when I get back to the states. I did purchase breakaway collars. During transport back to the states they will ned to wear them for the 24 hour period. But that is it. bookie wrote: Hello, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] situation. Especially any advice pertaining to expediting his recovery.

Cat scratched off fur due to new collar
From what I read in your other post it sounds like a allergic reaction to
the collar I would clean the area really well. Try some Vaseline in the area. I would get another collar brand after it heals and try it again. If the furballs reacts the same way again. It is the cat and you may need to have deal with it till transport is over. How thin is the collar If it is thin I would go with a wider band so it does not feel as if something is scuffing them Good luck and welcome to the group "FourCatServant via CatKB.com" u36121@uwe wrote in message news:75b684dd7d1af@uwe...

Cat scratched off fur due to new collar
I cleaned the wound with warm water and a cotton ball. Is there anything else
I should clean it with? What will happen when my cat tries to lick the vaseline off? I am wondering about the side effects of digesting the vaseline? Thanks for your help!

I am wondering about the side effects of digesting the vaseline? Vaseline is an inert substance and should cause no harm - a lot of people use it for hairball problems.

Thanks for the tips. I just implemented the last tips you gave me. The other
3 cats are intrigued by the vaseline. It was a good laugh that I needed. Matthew wrote: I cleaned the wound with warm water and a cotton ball.

Cat scratched off fur due to new collar
I am going to the vet today. This morning I woke up and went to clean and
oint his wounds and TADAH new wound. He scratch a deep gas on the small tender skin in front of his ear. I checked his ear no mites. So all I can guess is that he is in severe discomfort and I hope the doc can aid me in relieving it. bookie wrote: I cleaned the wound with warm water and a cotton ball.

Cats will sometimes scratch at areas that are irritated and thereby cause still more wounds and discomfort. If this seems to be the problem, ask your vet about an Elizabethan collar. Cats don't like them, but they do prevent a cat from scratching at the face and neck areas. MaryL |
