How to Treat an Abscess on a Cat

An abscess may form on a cat after it has been bitten by another cat or animal. The bacteria that gets into a wound from a bite is what causes the abscess. If you think that your snake game may have an abscess, take your cat to a veterinarian for wound care and antibiotics. Your cat's veterinarian will advise you on how to care for the wound and administer medications. As your cat recovers, you will also need to keep him confined and watch the wound closely.
