Question
my cat is injured with a large size bruise, it is bleeding. pl help me by telling what care i should take.
its a normal wound without pus formation, what ailing medication i should give.
thanks.

Answer
Hi there! If the wound is bleeding heavily and is not stopping, you will need to take your cat to your veterinarian for flushing and possible sutures.
If the wound is small and on the surface (not deep) and is bleeding in small amounts, clean the wound with Hydrogen Peroxide twice per day.  If the wound is not looking any better within 3 days, a veterinary visit is required for antibiotics.
I hope this helps and i hope your kitty feels better soon!
