Hi all,
I have a kitten (a female) which is just over 3 months old now, we are currently holidaying in a small remote area by the coast and there are no veternarians here (but there is an internet cafe for some reason), we are only getting back next week.
The kitten was attacked by and older cat (sex unknown) that somehow managed to scale our balcony wall (about 10metres) and intimidate the kitten. The only visible damage was a gouge just below the eye and a very distraught kitten. I have tried to bathe the wound in salt water relying on the disinfectant properties and put a plaster over the wound, it seems that the wound is getting worse because kitty keeps scractching it with it's foot
There is a slight smell coming off the wound i can say that it smells infected although it does smell better after bathing in salt water.
What else can i do? There is a small shop here but nothing big and i'd like to know how i can disinfect it properly and close it up so that the kitten doesnt bother it too much.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
