Treating a feral cat with a wound

Posted By Jayne (Irving, Texas) on 09/08/2012

Hi, I am so happy to read all of the success with ACV. I have been feeding close to 12 cats 2 x day for a couple of years. No, I am not a cat hoarder. These animals are feral cats. Out of all of this time, I have never touched briefly one of these cats. Also, they do not hang out here. Have of them I have to walk off of the property to feed. I initially bought a trap to trap and have neutered and spayed and returned to the neighborhood but, the HOA has prevented me from doing this. Since they are idiots and will not do the right thing, I feed the cats because they need help.

The one that I am concerned about is the cat king of the neighborhood. He is probably about 3 years old and he is starting to trust me unless I try to pet him. Anyway, yesterday he came inside. He did not feel good at all and had only a slight appetitie. I could tell that he wasn't well so I let him sleep on the floor. I noticed he was licking his nads or at least I thought that was what he was doing until he stood up and blood was just pouring off of him. I called the vet, but I cannot catch the cat. I thought that when he left that he would have died from the blood loss. I was real happy to see him this morning. He is feeling better but I finally was able to see that he has a huge rug wound close to his anus. Actually it is like is the crease where his tail meets his body. There is no hair and it is a very dark red wound looking thing. It looks real painful and I want to help. I just do not know how unless I can mix some ACV in his food. I can put it in the water but cats most of the time are not huge water drinkers. If I spray him when he is walking away, he will not trust me anymore and maybe not come back. Please advise how much I can safely use in his food and what else that I can do that will help him.

I would suggest as you can't catch the cat, you put colloidal silver into his cat food and in the drinking water. (filtered, if possible). Look into, also, giving the cats some DE in their food as they are feral. Helps with fleas and ticks. Diatomaceous Earth. Must be food grade.
