Pus is good. It consists mostly of dead white blood cells that have done their job fighting the infection. Pus is bad only in that it causes pressure and therefore discomfort, so getting it out of there helps relieve the pain. I did not know that about neosporin. It must only affect some cats because my cats responded well to it on the occasions I used it. Now that I know it's a risk, I won't use it anymore. I'm happy for you and Jack. He trusts you. Keep up the good work.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsEubcaClgB_0?si=C_feV2Vn8e_U9P1j This is another reason why I don't use it anymore. I have in the past because I didn't know then what I know now. 😁 plus my own vet said the same thing. ua-cam.com/users/shortsxFlFdSsoibw?si=wVcZuwzWvyLheNvt He has a few different videos about neosporin
Having been forced to do this myself, best way to treat an abcess is to open it up, express what you can, then use a syringe (no needle!) filled with bactine to flush the wound until it comes out clear (the cat will have a lot to say about having the syringe poked into the wound but trust me), wash the area with water to removed the bactine, and then you have 2 choices: leave it open or use a cat safe salve (or just bacitracin and put a modified baby onsie on the cat to prevent licking) and monitor the cat to keep the salve on for several minutes.
Ya, I was all ready and had him in his cat carrier it was a very big disappointment finding out the car wouldn't start. My husband will not be back for a while. Hopefully, I can work the infection out before it makes Jackie sick.
A lot of things that are safe for humans are dangerous for cats. I don't know if neosporin is very dangerous for cats, but apparently it can harm them. The vet used to tell us just use warm salt water on cat wounds.
@@PatriciaG.5050 It probably transcends multiple social media platforms, but I don't do Tik Tok either. In the comment section of almost any cat video on UA-cam, you'll see people write the word car instead of cat due to auto-correct, etc. Well, it turns out people have EMBRACED this funny error and just rolled with it. Example: video of a Kitten suddenly falling asleep has the comment "car battery ran out of power". Quite frankly, some of them are hilarious.
I live in Arkansas. There isn't anyone here to ask for help. No family. No friends. He's doing better every day. I got less puss out this morning, which is a good thing 😁. Thanks for stopping by my channel 😁
Its big wounds so i would think you need to keep the wounds open and not let it close and clean inside the wounds with a small syringe? Or it will be pus again... Good luck with this ❤❤❤❤
It's much better now. I hardly get anything out now. Thanks for the advice. I will remember this if this happens again, and I can't get to the vet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
You are brave. Can the vet advise you by phone?
😊
Yes, I talked to the vet. She told me all she could over the phone.
Thanks for watching.
He is a really trusting kitty allowing you to drain it. He knows you are treating him.
I agree. Most cats would rip a person's face off for doing what I'm doing .
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment 😁

That is great advice. I have no way to get to a store to buy the stuff you are talking about.
Thanks for the information 👍 😀
sending healing energies to Jackie
Thank you so much 🫂
A plantain poultice will draw all that yuckyness out....bentonite clay as well
YOU CAN DO IT I KNOW YOU CAN PRAYING FOR YALL
Thank you, my friend 🧡
Taxi? Uber?
There aren't such things where I live. Even if there was, I couldn't afford it. The vet is an hour away.
Thanks for stopping by my channel.
Poor Jackie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ya, I was all ready and had him in his cat carrier it was a very big disappointment finding out the car wouldn't start. My husband will not be back for a while. Hopefully, I can work the infection out before it makes Jackie sick.
Was he injured in a fight? I have a theory that neutered male cats get into more nasty fights because they smell wrong to other cats.
I'm not sure what got him.
Interesting theory, though.
Oh no do you have any type of antibiotic suave like Neosporin, i have used it before on our cats.. Poor jack.. But he is in good hands with you..
The vet said not to use neosporin. The spray I used is antibiotic. I used it in the turkeys. Some cats can have a bad reaction to neosporin.
A lot of things that are safe for humans are dangerous for cats. I don't know if neosporin is very dangerous for cats, but apparently it can harm them.
The vet used to tell us just use warm salt water on cat wounds.
Am I the only one who thought 'the car won't start" was referring to the cat because of the famous cat/car meme?
Must be a tictok thing because I have no idea what it is.
Thanks for stopping by anyway 😁

@Eric1SanDiego1 oh ok. I will keep an eye out for it. Thanks 😁
what state are you in? your accent doesn't sound like you're in my state, but maybe someone else can help?

HE LOOKING BETTER SO I NO HE GETTING BETTER
I agree. I just hope he keeps improving. I'm just worried that the infection might get in his blood.
@PatriciaG.5050 FRIEND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MEDS FOR INFECTION HE WILL KEEP GETTING BETTER PRAYERS
Let us know you you both get on.
I will.
