About 2-3 weeks ago my cat came home one morning with a scratch above his eye, and puncture wound (1/4 in deep, maybe from another cats fang?) below his ear. I didn't think to much of it, I cleaned it and put on some antibiotic ointment and kept an eye on it for a couple of days. It healed find, you can feel a little scar tissue where the puncture would was.
Well, yesterday that side of his (from ear to jaw) was majorly swollen. Today its not as swollen, but there is blood all over his fur, and his fur is coming out in tufts. He won't let me look at, he ran away the last time I tried and hasn't shown his face in the last 5 hours. My vet is on vacation and won't be back until monday. I have no idea what to do! Anyone ever experience anything like this before? Could it be some weird insect thats buring into him? Maybe a tic? Please help
