Yesterday the scratch looked pretty good. No new bleeding and my cat was showing no signs of scratching the wound. I applied Neosporin to it about three times. I did notice that she was grooming the area by licking her leg and rubbing the wound, I was a bit worried she would reopen the wound but new her saliva probably has healing characteristics so I just let things go naturally.
This morning I noticed she had rubbed off the scab and the wound looked bright red again, I am worried. On the good side, the wound really looks better, the scab is gone and it really doesn't look like it is bleeding. I have bought the pill crusher and a tasty assortment of canned food just in case I have to administer the pills the vet gave me.
Again, I am holding off on giving her the pills Prednisolone as this is a drug that has to be administered carefully and then stopped slowly and could potentially make things worse.
Prednisolone, it is a synthetic adrenal corticosteroid used for many purposes, in this case skin conditions.
I'll just keep on keeping a close eye on it and applying the neosporin and hope I don't have to give her the pills
