My cat Giada had to be held at the clinic overnight a week ago. The vets put two IV lines in both her front legs, and when she was discharged she had two bandages that I removed when we were back home. The vet put those bandages on a a safety measure. Giada has hemophilia, so when they removed the lines they wanted to make sure so bleeding could happen on the way home.
Giada has been licking her shaved spots, but I didn't realize the damage until a few days later when we had a follow up visit and the vet saw she had developed pyoderma on both legs.
I'm treating her with a cream that the vet gave me for free. It's a natural antiseptic (Hypericum and Neem Oil). The vet told me the cream has a very bitter taste so the cat would not lick it off. But my Giada doesn't care, and she started licking it away. So I wrapping her legs with gauzes and tubular netting bandages.
Anyone with a past experience on this? How long will it take to heal? The vet wasn't able to tell me.
