Need Help With Cat Wound in Hind Leg - Trying Manuka

Posted By Lynn (Dunkirk) on 06/17/2022

"I have a 2yr old Egyptian mau cat that has developed bedsore like areas on the back hind leg. This area is red and the fur is rubbed off. Various attempts have been tried to "fix" this issue. They have healed some and not as red and swollen with laser surgery at a vets and antibiotic cream. Manuka honey is now being tried which is having some results but not long lasting - a cone is worn always so the cat won't like it and re-open this would/scrape.

Litter has been changed from breeze pellets to natural paper to attempt no abrasion. Any ideas appreciated."
