Pour lukewarm water into the wound to flush out additional infected material and debris. Additional flushing with hydrogen peroxide may be helpful once most of the pus is out of the abscess cavity. Call your vet for an appointment the same day . A laceration is a cut. Lacerations can be minor and superficial or they can be deep and severe.
Superficial cuts can bleed profusely and long gaping wounds can produce minimal bleeding.
If you do not know how your cat was originally wounded, or if it was due to contact with another animal of any kind, there is a significant risk of contact with rabies . Avoid direct contact with any open wound and immediately seek veterinary help. Even though your cat may have had his rabies shot recently, your veterinarian may administer a rabies vaccination booster and will advise you on any quarantine period that is required by law in your area. Keep all your cat's vaccinations current throughout his lifetime. Ideally, place an ice pack over the dressing and apply direct manual pressure.
