Cat scratched off fur due to new collar

Sorry about the gap in my response time. My mother came to visit. My Tigger
is doing great. I took him to the vet and she said we should hold off on the
collar since the cause was a foreign object. Twice a day I clean the areas
with an iodine solution than rub in Betnovate. An anti itch cream that is
living up to description. Since I have implemented this routine he has licked
his wounds but has not reopened them. YAH...There is already hair growing
back.

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.

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.

This, is excellent news indeed. Even if it hasn't produced a miracle
cure, you are both leaning towards the right direction & it looks like
although it is a slow process, it seems to be working for you both.
Sometimes the slower cures are ultimately the best cures. Thanks for
re posting about this story. It is great when people do come back to
let us know how things went. Thank you very much )
