Natural Support for Minor Skin Injuries

Abrasions and minor skin injuries are among the most common problems in cats, especially outdoor cats. If left untreated, they can lead to infections or abscesses, making prompt and proper care essential.

Symptoms of abrasions in cats:

• Crusts on the injured area

• Minor bleeding or small open wounds

• Slight swelling

• Redness of the skin

• Sensitivity when touched

Early care can accelerate healing and prevent complications.

Abrasions in cats: Recognizing the causes

Minor skin injuries usually occur through everyday activities or interactions with other cats. The skin barrier is locally damaged, increasing the risk of infection.

Common causes of abrasions in cats:

• Fights with other cats: scratches or bite wounds from territorial or play disputes

• Scratches from furniture or garden objects: blunt or sharp objects causing abrasions

• Outdoor accidents: tripping, thorns, or other hazards

• Microbiome imbalance: disrupted skin flora increases infection risk

Even small wounds can worsen quickly, so thorough cleaning and monitoring are essential.
