Cat bitten by dog? What to do before seeing the Vet?
Help!
My daughter is on holiday in Corfu and there is a stray kitten/cat at the house they are renovating. The guard dog belonging to her boyfriends father has bitten the cat on the leg. Her boyfriend was feeding them both outside in the dark and perhaps the dog thought the cat was going to eat its food and bit it? My daughter says that there are two puncture wounds on the leg, but the cat has licked them clean. It is crying a bit. I warned my daughter that the dog could have broken the cats bones or ruptured ligaments, tendons or muscles and probably will become infected if not treated properly. They will take it to a vet tomorrow morning. Is their any precautions or actions that can be taken to help the young cat? i.e. bathing the wound in salt water, bandaging the wound, applying Vaseline or antiseptic cream for humans? Any advice to help the poor thing and I can ring her ASAP. Thanks in advance - I will try a couple of other forums just in case. Regards, Ron. |
