Question

I am looking for some advice but please try to understand that $ is tight and an attempt to take her to the vet is not possible....

Answer 1

first shave the fur off the area clean it carefully with anti bacterial soap and water. If the sores are open and Pusey put some antibiotic suave or creme on them and cover them with gauze, but not to tight. Change three times a day for three days, then lightly talcum powder the area and make sure that the Cats bedding is changed daily. Try to lift the cat often to keep it from being on the spots too often.

Answer 2

Patients in the hospital get bed sores from not being turned. You must reposition the cat several times a day. I have heard the honey thing but if that does not work you have to see the vet. Decubitus ulcers, which is what this is go very deep. Good luck.

Answer 3

Some scientists and medical workers have found that honey (especially dark-colored variety of honey) works well in treating bed-sores.

Cover the cat's bed-sores with honey and put a bandage on top to prevent the honey from smearing all over the place. Wash the cat's bed-sores and apply new honey with bandage daily.

According to some studies, this honey-treatment works even better than conventional drugs that are normally used to treat bed-sores.

Also, you have to turn the cat from one side to another regularly to make sure that it doesn't spend too much time lying on one side and cutting off blood supply to the skin there. Poor blood supply due to the pressure of lying on one side too long is the main cause of bed-sores.

The vet i exploit works on a charge plan. If i could no longer discover the funds for a circulate to they might take a down charge in some cases as small as $20 and can enable me pay it off over the years in small quantities (no activity became charged) additionally they may well be prepared to furnish you some loose suggestion. I choose you and your kitty the bigger of success.

Partially paralyzed??? Why the hell is it not put to sleep? Boy, that's not animal cruelty. Do you also own a horse with a broke leg or dog that cannot walk anymore?
