I'm really sorry to hear about what your cat is going through. Given his age and the fact that he was attacked, it's very important to get him to a veterinarian right away. The wound you've described could potentially lead to an infection or other complications, which can be particularly concerning for an older cat.

Let me explain why a visit to the vet is so crucial:

Firstly, there's a significant risk of infection. Animal bites often introduce bacteria, and these infections typically require antibiotics to treat effectively. Secondly, your cat might be experiencing pain from the wound, and a vet can provide the necessary pain relief to make him more comfortable. Additionally, there could be underlying injuries that aren't immediately visible, such as internal damage, which a vet can assess and address. Lastly, considering your cat has allergies, it's important that any treatment he receives doesn't trigger an allergic reaction, and a vet can ensure that the care provided is safe for him.

Please make arrangements to take your cat to a veterinarian as soon as possible for a comprehensive examination and the appropriate treatment. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
