Another common pet issue I see regularly is cat fight wounds. Without the exception of begging for food, cats on the whole tend to take care of themselves pretty well. Our friendly feline companions will only exhibit signs and symptoms of illness when they are truly very unwell. It can be a surprise for owners petting their cats to suddenly see them jump up when touched in a specific area. Sometimes the owners may see a large oozing mass on their cat or even have the pleasure of smelling a foul odour on their hand after petting them. Fighting amongst outdoor cats is very common and cat bites are like an injection of bacteria. Rapidly these wounds can develop into abscesses due to the proliferation of bacteria and thus we see pus. As horrendous as this sounds, they are very easily treatable by a trip to the Veterinarian and heal quickly.
