Aww, poor Lily. Hope she feels better!

Well Lily, I am so sorry you have a boo-boo on your ear, but maybe this will teach you NOT to attack your sister Luna from behind anymore.

Like others said Kirsten, just keep it clean until it scabs over and she'll be just fine. I know it's harder on us when they have a sore than it is for them.

I'm afraid it looks like a fight among siblings. I have seen that here before.
I am sure it will heal nicely and not leave a scar.

If it was my cat.... and the wound is not actively bleeding, cat is acting normally otherwise, not shaking the head or pawing at the ears, not keeping ear folded like it hurts or crying like it hurts.... I wouldn't take them in to work with me if that helps any.

Although I have the priveledge of just asking one of the vets at work about it and they either tell me to clean things with peroxide or put Panalog cream on it, depending on what the wound is. If they think it needs looking at they tell me and I bring in the cat.

You should be able to just call Lily's vet and ask if they think this needs to be looked at or if they can recommend what to clean it with and just watch for complications.

Ears are a fragile thing so it could have been a fight, or just really rough playing, or dashing through the house not looking where she was going.

Poor Lily. Whatever happened I hope it doesn't happen again and this heals up quickly with no problems.

Ouch! Poor Lily.

I hope that she'll heal up quickly.

Nicks and scrapes ocasionally happen with my three. Just make sure it stays clean and not infected, cats heal up really quickly. I would only go to the vets if it got infected or it seemed like it wasnt healing properly.

Lily, you be careful!
