My boyfriend and I are house sitting this weekend for his boss, we're caring for his animals, three cats, two dogs.
two of the cats are outdoor cats and I don't have much expierence since both my cats are indoor.
one of the cats came in with her face looking as though it had been burned or something! there is no hair left and the skin looks cracked and red the poor thing! we can't get in touch with the owners, so we don't know if this is an injury they knew about and the cat already has seen a vet for it, or if it happened sometime while she was out this morning (that is what I think because wouldn't they have mentioned it to us?). she looks terrible, I wish I could get pictures up here to show what I am talking about, but has anyone ever had a cat with a burn before and know what it would look like or if that is what it is.
I want to take her to the vet, we are about an hour away from where we live so we would have to find one. I dont know if it would be alright to find some home treatment or not and we are desperately hoping the owners will call back so we can find out if they knew about this or if they could give us the number to their vet.
I really don't know what to do. I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong section I just really need some feedback for the poor cat.
