VerifiedHi, thank you for using Just Answer. My name is***** I am a general practice veterinarian. I am so sorry your vet is not available. Hope my thoughts can help. Some things you could do to keep the wound clean while you bring your pet to the vet is purchase a product called Hibiclens from any pharmacy. Lather the area well and rinse thoroughly. Do this daily. You could use a triple antibiotic ointment but most pets will lick it off. It would be best to just use the antimicrobiano cleaner recommended
I hope this helps. Let me you if I can assist you with anything else.
Thank you for using Just Answer.

For a few days. He's half indoor outdoor cat. We love out in the country and found him under the house as a kitten and rescued him. We can quite keep him indoors as he doesn't like it but he comes and goes. He's fed and watered here, but it seems his hind legs were attached by something. Attacked… they are not broken, but he is limping and the wounds I've tried to keep clean but I'm thinking he may need a little bit of an antibiotic. … read more
