My Cat Bit My Kitten Neck

135 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  GabesGirl1963
Last Night I noticed a puncture wound on My Kittens Neck. I know the culprit Clyde My 10 Year old Maine ****. There is a puncture Mark No Bleeding. I Put Hydrogen Peroxide on the Wound Along with some Neosporin. The Puncture Mark Doesn't Look Infected. Should I Take Him to the Veterinarian OR Just Continue with The Peroxide and Neosporin?
Sincerely
WORRIED Mom

I'm not a veterinarian, but I can offer some general advice. It's always best to consult with a veterinarian regarding any health concerns for your pet. They have the expertise to provide a proper diagnosis and recommend the appropriate course of action. Given that your kitten has a puncture wound on its neck, it's important to take the situation seriously.
While you've taken some initial steps by cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide and applying Neosporin, it's important to remember that these measures may not be sufficient for proper wound care in all cases. Hydrogen peroxide can sometimes delay wound healing by damaging healthy tissue, so it's generally recommended to avoid using it. Additionally, Neosporin may not be suitable for use on animals without veterinary guidance, as some products can be harmful if ingested or cause an allergic reaction.
