Saline solution is another wonderful cleaner for wounds. As for antibiotics, a broad spectrum one is needed. I would see a vet, as you say it keeps draining and bleeding, not so great a situation. Cat could end up with major sepsis. Good luck. IP: Logged
Cindy unregistered	posted 08-01-2002 09:16 AM Clauvlox is another antibiotic that is avaiable. Always used with cats with absesses. How far is wound? it might need a drain? Cleaning it might not complety rid the affection away. I myself would prefer salty water as it gently and more natural way of cleaning it.. By the way how is absesses affecting the cats behaviour??
