My cat's neck is oozing clear liquid. Could it be related to worms?

This can be a scab from scratching due to allergies or an injury or it can be ring worm. I would keep it clean with soap and water and wash your hands well after contact as ring worm can be contagious to people. I would have your vet check the area to see which is the cause as they have different treatments.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Judging from the picture, this could be a ruptured abscess or secondary to self trauma from him scratching at the area. I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate treatment recommendations can be made. He will need the hair clipped from around the wound and the wound cleaned. I would also recommend an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry you are having trouble with Gulabo! I'm having a hard time orienting myself with the pictures. The first one looks like a deep puncture, the 2nd looks like a healing wound and the last looks like scabs on the ear. I recommend shaving the fur away from all the areas, clean the areas well with mild soap and water twice daily then apply a triple antibiotic cream to all areas twice daily. Purchase an Elizabethan collar (lamp shade) to prevent licking and keep Gulabo indoors. I can not see worms. It is likely best to have her seen by a Vet but I understand that one is not near by. I wish you the best and I hope this helps!

Even though a picture would help to understand better the underlying cause, this presentation could be due to a trauma (bite wound) and/or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking/scratching. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

From the picture it isn't very clear but it looks like a skin wound. Pheobo need to be seen by a veterinarian as might need some medication (antibiotic treatment) and if the wound is very deep might need to be stitched up. In the meantime keep the area clean and avoid licking. Please post again in the forum if you would like to discuss it further or if you have new pictures. I hope my answer was helpful.

This sounds like a very serious injury and I would strongly recommend that he be seen by a veterinarian immediately. If he is drinking and the water is coming out of the wound, this will very likely require surgery, along with antibiotics and pain medications.

You can try putting some neosporin on it twice a day. If it isn’t healing then I would have your vet take a look at it. She may need oral antibiotics or there could be a parasite in it causing the hole. I hope this helps!
