Kitty with a sore

Not sure what this is, but I noticed it today on Little Man. It's on his tail, near the base. He doesn't seemed bothered by it. Eating well, playing etc. I already had an appointment set for him Monday for rabies and FLV vac. Wondering if I should try and get the appt for tomorrow instead. What do you think? Wait till Monday, or try for tomorrow? (Fri)

Please try for tomarrow ... it looks like it may be an absess

Does he go outside? It could be anything really, he could have gotten his fur caught, fight with another animal, could be ringworm or a scab from fleas...

Looks like an abscess to me. This is easy to deal with but needs to be done sooner than later. It would be very wise to take him in tomorrow rather than Monday.

I was able to get an appt today. We'll see how it goes.................

We just got back from our appointment. No fever, a little swelling in the infected site. Came him with anitbiotics and our shots updated. $86 later..........

thanks for the update. the antiobiotics should clear it up

I've merged the two threads started on this kitty.
