Plain-English summary
Fight wounds are bite, scratch, puncture, or skin injury concerns that may need veterinary assessment.
What it is
Fight wounds can include punctures, scratches, bite wounds, bruising, or damaged skin. Some wounds look small at first but may become painful, infected, swollen, or draining later.
Why it matters
Even a wound that looks small can sometimes be painful or infected. A veterinarian can examine the area and discuss cleaning, treatment, monitoring, testing, or referral if the wound is more serious.
How mobile veterinary care helps
During a house call, Dr. Sergey can evaluate suitable concerns at home, discuss next steps, and explain when testing, treatment, monitoring, a certificate, or referral to an affiliate clinic may be recommended.
When to ask about it
Ask about fight wounds if your pet was in an altercation, has swelling, punctures, tenderness, drainage, or a wound that needs veterinary evaluation.
