Cat with wounded front leg licking it and won’t stop

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Hello —

My cat has a wound on his front left leg, and won’t stop licking it. The wound has been there for quite some time now, and he isn’t letting it heal. His behavior has not changed at all — he still runs around the house, leaps, uses the scratching post, etc, as he has always done, but the wound is getting worse.

He is semi-feral so putting him in a carrier to take him to the vet would be a major undertaking.

Do you have any suggestions? Please help.

Thank you.
