3 weeks ago, our cat had a severe allergic reaction to a flea spray. Our vet gave him his rabies shot, a shot so he would quit scratching (he's allergic to flea bites) and his monthly flea medication. 3 days ago, I noticed he had developed two open wounds on his front leg, and back leg, almost the size of a pencil eraser. He seems lethargic, labored breathing, minimal bowel movements. Our vet will not be in his office until tomorrow. He is still eating, though not as much as usual. Any ideas? Thanks!!

i would go to a emergency pet hospital or call the vets office and see if they have a vet on call or someone who takes emergency calls because the labored breathing and lethargy would scare me and i wouldnt wait...good luck

Take him to the vet tomorrow. Or check your phone book to see if there is a 24 hr vet clinic in your area. They're are pretty costly to go to, but you should be able to call one and explain the situation and get their opinion as to what to do until you see your normal vet.

sounds like she have been given right into a cat combat and the injuries are from the teeth. They get rather contaminated from a cat's filthy mouth and she or he desires scientific interest from a vet. Antibiotics and there is the prospect that the the teeth entered far sufficient to rupture or tear an gut.

Take him to the vet tomorrow. My cat got wounds from using eye lotion on her head...it looked awful, but the vet told me how to heal her and now she is better. She is still just as dumb, but at least she looks pretty.

You should ask your vet 2 morrow of an allergy shot, i know some1 who has a dog that made a V shape on her back from her flea allergy. They gave her an allergy shot that works 4 all allergys. i dont know if it worked, but its worth a try!
Hope it works!

It could be lick dermatitus (they literally lick their skin off) especially if he has allergies. The other symptoms, though, sound more serious. Keep him hydrated and if he's not eating well, you can buy unflavored pedialyte at teh store and dropper it in his mouth. then see you vet tomorrow.

outside cat? make sure to get the cat to drink water, even if you have to drip it in with an eye-dropper.....could be a blown abscess.....keep it in a quiet, dry, warm place.....check the temp if you can...be sure to tell the Doctor all symptoms
