Hay has a abscess


My cat Hay is 15 years old. He has an abscess for the past few days on his face by his mouth. I think my other cat Pukie scratched him really good. He rarely goes out at night. So I don't really know how it happened.
Last night when I got home from work the front room smelled so bad. It was my cat. This morning I got up and took him to the vet. He barely had any skin left by his mouth after they cleaned him all up. Poor Hay.
When my kitties are hurt I feel hurt for them. I also had his blood checked. The vet thought he might have hyper thyroidism or has kidney trouble. I will find out on Tuesday. In the meantime, he is on antibotics and my son or husband are draining the yek. I just can't stomach it.
But thank the cat Gods the smell is gone.

I'm familiar with that smell. With so many cats who got in scrapes. Sometimes you don't notice the wound until the smell. I hope he's better soon!
