Notice this on my cat a few days ago I’ve been caring for him at home and I clean the area and apply ointment what could it be I have other cats and a dog and my cat that is hurt seems to be okay with everyone wound looks like it’s healing but hair seems to still be falling?
The scabbing and hair loss could be due to several factors, such as allergic reactions, flea bites, or even a skin infection. It's reassuring to hear that the wound seems to be healing with your current care routine.
It's not uncommon for hair loss to persist even as the skin heals, especially if there has been irritation or inflammation. While using Homeopet cream might provide some relief, make sure it's appropriate for open wounds and doesn't cause additional irritation.
Firstly, continue to monitor the healing process. If the scabbing is improving and the area isn't becoming larger or more inflamed, that's a positive sign.
Also, try to prevent your cat from scratching the area, as this can hinder healing. An Elizabethan collar might be helpful if scratching becomes an issue.
Keep an eye out for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge. If your cat seems uncomfortable or if these symptoms appear, visiting the vet would be beneficial to rule out any underlying issues and to receive a more targeted treatment plan.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you!
