It is screaming and always scratch its chest and the chest and the wound is bleeding


It sounds like your cat is experiencing quite a bit of discomfort with the scabbing and bleeding on her chest, especially since she's been scratching at it. This could be due to several reasons, such as an allergic reaction, an infection, or even a reaction to a flea or tick bite. Given that she's on Cefpodoxime, it seems there was a bacterial infection being treated.
To help manage the situation at home, there are a few steps you can take:
Firstly, try to prevent her from scratching the area further, as this can worsen the wound. You might consider using an Elizabethan collar, commonly known as a cone, to stop her from reaching the affected area.
It's also important to keep the area clean. You can gently clean the wound with a saline solution to help prevent infection. Be sure to avoid using any harsh chemicals or human antiseptics, as these can be harmful to cats.
Keep an eye on the wound for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus. These could indicate that the infection isn't fully under control.
Consider if there have been any changes in her environment that might have triggered an allergic reaction, like new cleaning products, plants, or foods.
Since there are also ear issues, ensure her ears are clean and free from debris. Ear problems can sometimes be linked to skin issues, so keeping them clean can be beneficial.
Given that she's been dealing with this for 8 days and it's still causing her distress, it would be wise to follow up with your veterinarian. They can assess whether the current medication is effective or if additional treatments are needed.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
