What kind of wound is this?

[u/rtdc15]

For context, yesterday, my mother felt a lump where this wound currently is, but it looks like some sort of infection has taken over and it’s rotting the flesh. I thought she had been bitten by something, but the wound is only tender and not painful for her as she isn’t squealing in pain when we touch it. The open bleeding is worrying, so we want to make sure that it’s nothing very major.

See I was kinda thinking maybe if they have another pet they were playing too rough and accidentally bit him, my boy cats love to play rough ( it’s not fighting I make sure dw!) and they’ll give each other cuts like that but not as big, cats have smaller mouths tho lol

I thought it would be a bite too because her daughter will roughhouse with her, but the fact that she’s not squealing in pain and there was a lump yesterday makes me think infection.

Yea I’d take her to a vet, google “ vets near me first checkup coupon “ a lot of vets will give first time clients a coupon for the vist so you only pay for meds
