Priority: Low

Overview

• Closely watch your cat for the next 3-5 days.
• Make a veterinary appointment if symptoms continue.
• If symptoms change, repeat and revise the Symptom Checker.

Symptom Considerations

• Blood loss and infection are the main concerns.
• Scrapes should be seen by your veterinarian quickly to decrease the risk of infection.
• Some questions to prepare for:
  • When did it happen?
  • How did it happen?
  • Have you treated your cat at home?
  • Have you given your cat any medication?
• Depending on the severity, your cat may require:
  • Treatment of the scrape (flushing, bandaging, etc.)
  • Oral medications (pain relievers, antibiotics)
