Kittens neck PLEASE help pic included

HELP! We put a collar on my kitten 2 days ago and it wasnt tight at all! We woke up this morning to his neck sore and missing hair picture it attached. Is this something that we can keep clean at home and it will heal or should we take him to the vet in the morning?

I can't see the picture . But generally, for abrasions, just keep it clean and dry and it should heal up fine. If it started to look angry red and weeping pus, he would need to go to the vet. If it's a deep gash, you should take him to the vet for antibiotics and maybe stitches.

its looking so bad!!!!

I would definitely say this kitten should go to the vet ASAP! It does look really bad.

I'm no expert, but if it was my cat I'd take him to the vet. Wouldn't want it to get infected

Yeah I'd definitely call the vet for that. It's going to need cleaned and probably antibiotics. Don't wait. Call first thing in the morning.

not sure if you would know this but how much do you think this will cost?

I don't know...vets in different parts of the country charge vastly different rates. I'd guess about $75 but that could be high or low. You can ask the vet before he does anything, though. But this is not optional. That can get infected really easily and a kitten can die from an infection pretty quickly. If you wait, it will be MUCH more expensive and you might lose him.

Can I ask, was it a flea collar?

nope just a simple small collar from target with a little bell. Im not sure how a collar like that would do that to his neck. but i did see a lot of forums where cats necks got to this point from flea collars.

This is bad - take your cat to a Vet.  IT LOOKS LIKE A BITE FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL TO ME. 

thank you! We will be taking him tomorrow! I just moved in with my sister in law for a month and she has other cats so i hope thats not the case from what we saw they were all getting along.

I agree it looks like a puncture wound from another cat and they tend to get infected very quickly.

Ebersolkn how's he doing? Did you get to the vets?
