Abrasions and minor skin injuries are among the most common problems in cats, especially those that go outdoors. If left untreated, they can lead to infections or abscesses, which is why quick and proper care is important.

Symptoms of abrasions in cats:

• Crust formation on the injured area

• Bleeding or slight open sores

• Slight swelling

• Redness of the skin

• Sensitivity to touch

Early care can accelerate the healing process and prevent complications.

Abrasions in cats: Recognizing the causes

Minor skin injuries usually result from everyday activities or interactions with other cats. The skin barrier is locally damaged, which promotes infections.

Causes of abrasions in cats:

• Fights with other cats: Scratches and bites during territorial disputes or fights

• Scratches on furniture or garden objects: blunt or sharp objects cause abrasions

• Outdoor accidents: Stumbling, tripping hazards, or thorns can injure the skin

• Microbiome imbalance: disturbed skin flora increases the risk of infection

Even small wounds can quickly worsen, so thorough cleaning and observation are crucial.
