Help!
My cat, Chayce, got into a fight over food with my Chihuahua, Poppy. She left a wound on his neck, which bled, and I applied pressure on it until the bleeding had stopped. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, but it appears to be itchy as he keeps scratching it and re-opening the wound. I don't want it to get infected or not heal properly, but I'm not sure of how to properly clean and cover it-- or stop him from scratching it. Chayce is VERY fluffy, lots and lots of hair. So I cant think of any way to keep it covered. I was told to clean it with a mixture of warm water and peroxide to flush it out, I tried it once and he didn't seem to mind it but I don't want to continue if it's going to make it worse. Any suggestions on how to properly clean and cover it? And maybe something to stop the itching? Please help! Thank you!
