Hi,
My poor cat had an op on his leg a few weeks back and has external pins fitted. One of them got infected and he is now on antibiotics :(
Took him to the vet as soon as I noticed and they gave him the antibiotics, said to clean it daily and to keep the cone on him the whole time. I was doing this anyway, but the little bugger can still reach the wound! It's the one at the top of his leg so he is doing some serious contorting, but he still gets at it to give it a proper lick.
Obviously this is not great and can make the infection worse. I'm hoping to phone the vet as soon as they open but I am worried sick and can hardly sleep. Any cat loving mumsnetters have any advice?
