About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a scab under my cat Makenna's collar. I immediately took it off and didn't think anything more about it.
Minus, checking it out every few days, life went on.
Well, being I am home more this week, due to the 4th of July holiday, I checked it more often.
On Monday I finally decided I did not like how it seemed to be even worse than what it was when I took her collar off.
Off to a very nice vet named Dr. Megan (a classmate of our normal vet, Dr. Traci) and she confirmed that it was not anything like cancer, or ring worm. She believes Makenna is scratching it and making the original small scab, even worse!
So we need to keep her away from the injury and thus a "soft" collar. She is not happy, but so far, it is still on her.
It kind of looks like a dress, if you ask me.
We also have some medicine to put on the scab and hopefully it will get the chance to heal.
Poor, poor Makenna, She really doesn't look to happy, I hope she gets better soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteI let her have the collar off Tuesday night for a few minutes before bed and she cleaned herself for 45 minutes! Sigh...
