Hello, everybody!
I am new to this forum and I must say I'm sad that I've come here due to a sad event.
My cat, Muffy is 3 months old. I usually keep him inside my house and let him out for 3-4 hours a day, in our yard.
Yesterday my dad bought an anti-fleas collar and we put it on Muffy. He didn't like it and he tried to remove it several times. I thought he would stop, but at 1am before I went to bed I heard strange noises coming from the kitchen. Then I saw him laying on the floor, struggling, choking on the collar, which was tight around his neck and stuck in his mouth. I freaked out and I took some scissors and cut it off. I noticed his paws were full of blood that was coming out his mouth.
He scratched his jaw and left bits of hair everywhere and his lower lip which used to be black, now has a yellow spot, could it be puss?
I have to mention that this happened in 3 minutes, while I was brushing my teeth, I really couldn't have known that he was about to do that.
Since then he's been sleeping, and I gave him milk and soft food, nothing too hard to chew. I think he also has a problem with his teeth.
I also took a photo of his lip while he was sleeping.
I can't go to a vet cause I live pretty far from the city, that's why I came here. Could it be an infection?
I hope you can help me with some advice.
Best regards!
