Please Help - 8 yr old Cat w/ Sore on Head
This weekend we noticed our white/black *indoor* cat had a patch of
his hair missing from his head just over the right eyelid. It appeared as a nail scratch from our other more agressive cat as they play fight sometimes. I applied some peroxide on a q-tip to the area. The next day, the area turned a pinkish/red color and grew to the size of a dime. The area is flat, not raised or depressed, but it was becoming bloody/crusty so I applied more peroxide on a q-tip. After only a couple of days it seems to be moving down closer to his upper eyelid but not yet there. We noticed new open wounds within that small area that my wife thinks is the result of him scratching. I dont know if it's a scratch, a growth, cancerous, eczema, etc. My question for the vet will be, why is he scratching this - what is the underlying condition? I fear it may be some cancerous lesion, but my wife thinks it it just the result of a scratch. We will be bringin him to the Vet in a couple of days but any of your expeiences/knowledge with the possibilities of this type of feline skin irritation would be helpful. |
