My cat was in a fight and cut his ear, he appears sleepy, should i be worried?

Question

My cat, Harry, is very old (70) and sleeps alot, anyway, but recently he was in a fight and had a fairly big cut in front of his ear. He appears sleepy, and not his usual self. Should I be worried, and take him to the vet?

Answer 1

Yes, take him to the vet as soon as possible. Cat scratches can easily get infected. Any time your cat is acting in an unusual manner it's usually time for a vet visit because cats don't usually show they are

sick until they are really, really sick.

Answer 2

Yes, you should bring him to the vet. He may have an infection, and if it is infected he will more than likely have a fever which will cause him to sleep and lay around a lot. The sooner you get him to the vet, the better.

Answer 3

yes get the poor cat to the vet.  and quit letting him outside to get injured or worse.

Answer 4

Depends, is he vaccinated, was the other cat a stray?

Answer 5

take him to a vet he will know good luck
