My cat had an abscess on his back - which I have enough experience with to treat myself. I have owned cats for 30 years. I have been able to clear and heal the wound and have been dosing him with amoxicillin. He seems to have an allergy to this antibiotic as I have discovered hes been throwing up in the basement. This is the usual drug I use to treat abscess-type infections and I want to make sure the interior infection clears up.

It could be an abscess of some kind from an injury received outdoors. My one cat used to develop infections from flea bites (she was very sensitive to those). Perhaps the larva you're thinking of is cuterebra (nasty little things). But you'd be able to see a pore (breathing hole) in the lump. Do not attempt to squeeze it out. It needs to be removed by someone who knows how to do that without rupturing the larva. Then again, it may be some kind of cyst.

If so, he may of gotten into a scuffle with another cat. This is often how abscess happen...from an infected scratch or bite. I know hydrogen peroxide can be safely used, however, what I don't know is if that in itself will take care of it. Best of luck and please keep us posted!

I believe she had an abcess although the vet had indicated to me that she may have cancer. How do I treat my cat to help the abcess area heal now that it is draining?It has a very fowl odor as well. Help please.

my cat has an abscess from a cat bite. he weighs 20.

Thanks so much for the reply. First a quick updated on my daughter and a few follow up questions. The Staph infection turn out to be Staphylococcus epidermidis only found on the central line and not in the bloodstream. She ended up staying at the hospital another 5 days. The pediatric ID has her going through a 10 day regime for the Staph and all blood cultures have come up negative and another 3 week regime of Clindamycin for the abcess at home.

First some back story: Cat had an abscess, took it to the vet. The abscess drained, went back to the vet, gave us some antibiotics. After abscess drained, the cat irritated it a bit, a flap of skin came off revealing tissue, and bone on the right of the jaw/mouth. We went back to the vet, said she couldn't bandage it since it's literally on the mouth, and therefore couldn't eat. Also can't stitch since there's no skin to stitch together.

We rushed her straight to the vet who diagnosed an abscess from a cat fight our girl must have got herself into. And he also discovered she is pregnant, and is about 3 weeks along by the feel of things. The vet said he hopes her kittens aren't affected by this abscess / infection. Her temp was 40 degrees celcius also (which I was told is only slightly high for cats).

Get you cat to a vet. The bad smell is rotting flesh. No one on here can help you I'm sorry. A vet needs to treat your cat now. Tonight if possible tomorrow at the latest. I'm not trying to scare you but this is bad and needs to be treated before it gets worse and it will get worse.

My 8 year old cat, Kupid was diagnosed with a dental abscess about a week ago and put on clindamycin 1 ml twice a day. When she started she had a pink drainage coming from her right eye and right nostril. Her eye has gotten better and her nose has slightly improved. She is still sneezing and looks terrible but she is eating on her own. This cat has failed the pre anesthesia test twice after having complications during her spay surgery so we are reluctant to put her under to pull her tooth.

My two year old cat came home last night and this morning I notice an abscess on the bottom of his mouth. It is the size of a large marble but there are no visible signs of a wound, scratch, cut, ect. I asked some friends about this and they said it was a spider bite, I am watching him close to make sure he is eating still.

My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.

s an abscess, you should see a doctor. By any chance did a cat scratch you? Could be cat scratch fever, which requires antibiotics and often having the abscess drained. If it's partly draining and refilling, yes, it would seem to come and go.

Hi, is she an indoor/outdoor cat or does she live with more than one cat? If she does, than there's a good chance that this is an abscess(infection from a cat bite). The abscess might not heal on its own, and will probably need a vet to take care of it and put her on antibiotics. Let us know how it goes!!

My almost 20 year old calico cat has developed a jaw abscess that has broken through the skin to drain. I know from reading the forum this is VERY bad and I can't afford to bring her to the vet. She is still eating and otherwise acting quite normally but I am embarrassed to say I didn't notice that she developed this condition until I felt the scab under her chin. Then I noticed how distorted that side of her jaw has become. Life has been really hectic lately.

secondly there are no herbs or natural remedies that will be effective with the treatment of this abscess, kitty will need to be on a medication from your Vet. an abscess can be a life threatening issue, please don't hesitate to have a Vet look after this for kitty. I could give you some idea's on natural remedies to help strengthen his immune system(only) after the surgery if you like, however do be sure and use the antibiotic as prescribed.

s no reason to specifically believe that it was caused by fighting with another cat, that I know of, unless the vet recognized a cat scratch at the site. Is there any sign of anything like that? Does the lump feel hard or soft? Can you move it around at all (if you see what I mean) or does it stay put? If it is an infection, she should have antibiotics prescribed and most likely, an antibiotic injection. It could also be a bug bite, I suppose, in which case she might require antihistamines.

I sure hope that you have enough clavamox to last 10 days. I really believe that your cat has an abscess and has an infection. He probably got bitten in the leg by the other cat, which caused it. To be honest, if your cat is favoring one leg, then the other leg hurts him too much to walk on it. It's possible that your cat is in pain. I really hope that you have enough clavamox, your cat needs it!

If however the cyst was infected or inflamed it can cause an infection and may eventually abscess. Some abscess can become serious and cause septicemia (blood infection). In either case it would be best to have your cat examined by a vet in case it is the infectious type.

i agree with anniebrooke you have to get your cat to a vet. if he doesnt get treatment now he could die. i dont wanna sound harsh but that is the truth of it.

If it is an abscess, your cat definitely needs to see someone and probably get antibiotics. The last thing you want to do is cover it with anything because that could lead to an anerobic infection.

i have a condition i have sufferd axcillary abscess under both arms for 9 years i am now 24 weeks pregnant and have an abscess under my left arm will this harm the baby in the womb and how can they treat this and what can they give me for pain because this is the 2nd night i have been up all night with the pain many thanks

Hi! Just joined this group today and saw your post re: vet bills. I live in Southern California and just recently had to take my cat in for an "anal abscess" which needed to be lanced and drained (gross looking fluid/pus!). Here is the itemized list for this procedure: 1. Exam and consult $46.50 2. Sedation $55.00 3. Drain/clean abscess $45.00 4. Culture of fluid $113.50 5. Antibiotic injection $65.00 6.

I'm so sad to read this about a suffering old cat...and I do mean SUFFERING...this cat needs to be humanly euthanized ASAP, sorry I know you'd like to try and treat him but given all the circumstances and the fact he's lost so much weight rapidly, I think there's no easy fix for him by you or by a Vet....
