laceration to cats leg
our cat got out yesterday and today we notice him limping and holding up one hind leg. When we looked he has about 1/2 laceration right above his paw area on his leg, you can see the muscle
Yes, he does need immediate attention. If nothing else, he needs stitches and antibiotics. If he doesn't see a vet right away, the cut will get worse and get dirty (fur, cat litter, floor dust, etc). He'll lick at it, which is natural but will keep it from healing cleanly.
Lastly, it will very likely get infected from the dirt and stuff which will cause a worse problem and a more expensive vet visit.
Keep us posted as to how he's doing, ok?
