1. Treatment of Cat Wounds
Cat injured wounds are prone to bacterial invasion, causing wound infection, so the wound needs to be cleaned and disinfected to prevent secondary wound infection. Generally, you can use physiological saline to rinse the wound, clean out foreign matter and impurities in the wound, and clean the hair around the wound. This step requires immobilizing the cat to prevent it from struggling and scratching people. Then use iodophor or alcohol to disinfect the wound. If the wound is large or there is suppuration and fluid accumulation, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the doctor and have the cat treated by a professional doctor. Because the wound may require suturing or debridement, there is generally no suitable sterile environment at home, and secondary infection may occur if self-treatment is performed.
To prevent the cat from touching the scratched wound again, the wound needs to be bandaged. First, use cotton to press the cat's wound to avoid exposure to the air. Spray a topical anti-inflammatory drug such as Petsuhe on the bandage and around the wound. Use tape to secure the bandage and cotton to prevent the cat from licking the wound. In order to prevent cats from scratching and biting and bandaging wounds, owners need to wear Elizabethan rings on cats.

Wounds can be treated with external anti-inflammatory drugs combined with oral anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent secondary infection, but this should be done under the guidance of a doctor. The Cousuhe, Bailingjinfang, Mobixin and Sunuo recommended in this answer are commonly used pet-specific anti-inflammatory drugs and can be purchased at pet hospitals. Owners should note that the anti-inflammatory drugs used for cats must be specific for pets.
