Try using an old cotton sock with the toe cut off and pull it over her neck so she can't scratch the area. Then use Neosporin under the sock cover. It'll be her Victorian Ruffle and only has to last a week or so..

Has she been stressed out? My childhood kitty was a neurotic little thing and scratched herself raw in spots, usually around her neck. We had to put her on kitty tranquilizers.

She certainly is adorable!

Silvadine - I always have some in the house for any wounds that don't want to quite heal up
I got the container from the Vet. It's not cheap but not scary pricey either. And you use a very small amount. It seems to sooth and it's antibacterial and all of that.

I used the stuff on me post Radiation treatment for burn wounds. So I can tell you from experience it doesn't hurt.

Use a sock with the foot cut off as a collar.

My vet said once that cats may have a reaction to neosporin, so that could be contributing to her scratching the spot. I’m not sure what to use instead- this only came up in conversation with my vet because I lived 130 miles from the nearest vet clinic and I was stocking a first aid kit for kitties.

goldenseal, and a cone collar. she is cute!

Would she be totally opposed to wearing a shirt? Most cats can fit into an infant size 0-3 months. It might cover up the wound so she can't scratch at it.

Try rubbing the neosporin in real good so it will abosrb. Don't use it it's near a place she can lick off. Yes, take her to the vet if it doesn't get better after a few days of neosporin, she might need a shot of antibiotic.

I would be interested in what the vet says. There might be a treatable reason that she keeps scratching there.
