Cat Wound

Tweet

Last week my cat (Male) was in a cat fight with another male. So he came into the house with a cut on his hip. The next day I take him to the vet becuase it was still bleeding some. They kept him overnight and performed a minor surgery to remove the absess that had formed on the cut. When I went to pick him up there was a hole where they had cut it out about the size of a quarter. Maybe a lil bit bigger. Well it seem weird to me that they would want me to take him home with an open wound. So I ask about it and the vet assured me it was ok. Well now a week later the scab comes off and u can see his muscle and deep inside him. So I call the vet and they say it sounds like its healing just fine that is normal. So my question is if anyone else has ever had this issue. I know humans do not walk around with open wounds due to infection getting into it. So wouldnt that be the same with a cat..??..It just seems weird to me..So any opinions are very much appreciated.
