Open Wound from surgery

ronald_durst Sep 23, 2007 08:53 PM

Hi, My girls cat just had surgery last week. A tumor was removed from his leg and he had stitched. Apparently the wound didnt heal and not its back open. What can we do right now to help this wound heal? You can actually see the muscle in leg. WE're gonna try to get him to the vet but we cant really afford to pay anything right now. Hopefully they'll do it for free since they didnt leave the stitches in. Any help and advice to desperately needed so that it doesnt get infected. He also likes to mess with the wrappings that we wrapped the wound in. Anything to keep him from messing with it? Thanks

Take him back to the vet immediately. This is an emergency, so he should see you right away.

yeah she took him today and he hot staples. They also gave us some spray that would keep him from messing with the wound and its anti bacterial. Thanks
