cat health?
Orion had this sore on his cheek, we thought he burnt himself on the stove (yes, he's dumb, he'll go near a hot stove)
it went away
then about a week ago he got another sore, I THINK, its in the same place. It was getting better but today it looks a little worse.
I can't tell if maybe he cut himself and its irritating him to he scratches, or if it;s something serious like cancer! I hope not! He is only a year old!!!!
Anyone on LJ know anything that might be helpful? I'm going to talk to Andrew when he gets home to see if he thinks we shoudl call the vet, or go into the vet/pet store on mountain rd just to ask what they think?
If he has cancer I dont know what to do, I don't know if I can afford the vet to begin with! getting him fixed was ok, it wasn't that much, but I am afraid its going to cost so much!!! I dont want to let Orion down. Hopefully it's not serious. He's acting like himself, he's eating, and shitting (which he did now and it REEKS!!!) like normal.
I dont actually SEE him scratching it, which is a concern, but maybe he does when I am not looking?
thing is, it looked like it was getting better, and now it looks a bit worse. So MAYBE its infected? if so,how would I treat him myself. Some people online put peroxide on some of their pet wounds, btu I dont know if that is something I should puton a cat, yanno.
