hi there

my outdoor cat came back with a wound next to his tail. it was a 2-hole bite and the holes were about 8mm apart, and a patch of his hair was gone.

the vet said it was a cat bite, but I suspect it was a small non-poison snake bite. I didn't hear any cat fight, and cat bite usually a multiple wounds with long drag, and the teeth holes bigger than 8mm apart.

any thought when you see the attached picture ?

thanks for advice !

cat or snake ....... looks fine , should live !!

I think another cat, snaKe bite wouldn't take the hair off

thanks Sheryl, that makes sense as well !

we keep him in the house now and avoid further infection. he is recovering fast, but just bad mood being locked in the house :-)

thanks
