Cat wound

Question
My cat got bite by a dog 3 days ago.She has an open wound the size of a quarter on her rear leg. I have washed it out and there were maggots in it. What can I do from here? I have no money to take her to the vet, so I have to try and fix her. Please help. Thank You, Jennifer Lee

Answer
Jenn,

I am sorry, but you really need to see a vet.  If the wound is infected, it can go gangrenous and the cat can lose the leg, and, if untreated for long enough, the cat will die.  Your cat will need antibiotics, and, so, a visit to the veterinarian is manditory!!!!!

I understand your concern about finances, but this is about a life threatening situation for your cat!!!!!!!!!
