Gidget has a boo boo on her head

[jules12]

I was told when my dog had a boo boo, that you shouldnt use neosporin, something in it is bad for them. Although his wound was close to his mouth (well actually in his lip) they told me you should never put neosporin on a dog. I am going to assume this is the same for cats. Just keep that in mind. And the cat if it is by his eye is just going to rub it off with his paw anyways. Im sure a little wont hurt, but who knows how long it will stay.

There is a type of Neosporin with a pain reliever that is bad for most animals.

I'm calling all the kids. They can rot and rub dirt in it and walk it off, tumors, compound fractures, severed limbs, but let little Cuddlin's get a boo boo and it's off to Johns Hopkins!

I think she called the Catulance.

If the kids were as sweet as the cats, I'd have been nicer to them.

Aww, I hope she gets better!

Fly out by Trooper 2?

I could use a Valium right about now.

The boo boo was quite large, so the vet shaved away the fur and removed the scab to clean the wound. It was about the size of a dime and looked like her brains were coming out. (They weren't because it didn't even go through the muscle, let alone the scalp, but it was fairly gruesome.)

She's on an antibiotic for a few days and I have to keep her inside and quiet until she heals.

Poor little thing!
