My baby jasper has his lip split open

[Neyney00]

Today I noticed my cat wasn't acting right and I heard him and my other boy cat fighting so then I see his nose is messed up and his lip is split open and bleeding!! I'm so worried about him and my local vets aren't open right now. Idk what to do.

If you have any cat-specific antibiotic gel or cream, after a cleanse with mild soap and water or hydrogen peroxide and water, you could apply until your vet can see him. Make sure you do not apply anything that is not safe for cats and if in doubt, do not apply, just do the cleansing. Poor little sweet thing!

Have you been able to get a hold of the vet by now?

If you did use hydrogen peroxide, only use it once for cleaning purposes. Continual use is discouraged as it can actually impede healing and hurt the tissue.

I hope he is doing OK!
