Abscess

Abscess is the collection of pus in part of the body, formed by tissue disintegration and surrounded by an inflamed area.

It usually happens when your poor cute little cat gets wounded through either physical fights with other cats or simply injured itself. If the wound is not properly treated an infection may occur and abscess will form.

This can be prevented by gently rubbing the edge of the wounded area. Make sure all loose hair/fur or any small particles is removed leaving the bare wound. The surrounding hair/fur should be trimmed to ensure cleanliness. A little dab of hydrogen peroxide or any anti-bacterial solution can be used to clean the area around the wound. Use a fair amount of aloe vera gel and slowly apply it on the wound itself.

This will help your lovely cat to fight infection by increasing its immune system. Usually a cats that has strong immune body system will resist infection and heal rather quickly.

An important advise to take note is abscesses can be very serious to cats if it is left untreated. In worst case scenario, cats can experience blood poisoning due to the strong infection.

Remember, care your lovely pets!
