This cat came to the shelter when his owner couldn't care for him after he sustained a major reaction to over the counter flea medicine (applied as a liquid between the shoulder blades). To avoid potential legal problems, I cannot and will not name the manufacturer, but this is a product you can buy in just about any pet store.
This photo was taken this week, three weeks after the cat was brought in. He actually looks better in this photo than he did 3 weeks ago, as he has been healing. He's getting treated with topical medicine to heal the wound, and the vet is hoping for a full recovery.
Please, if your cat has fleas, talk to your vet about flea prevention, and find out which products are safe for your cat.
