If its really bad you need a doctor. But peroxide and band- aids should help.

∙ 12y agoyou need to keep it from getting infected. many wounds bcome abcessed and a hole opens up, making it look like a puncture. Take a big gob of triple acting antibiotic cream and stick it on your finger. Stick the whole gob in the hole. keep doing it twice a day. If you dont see improvement then take it to the vet. But really its just a cat, try it on your own first

How does a vet treat a cat bite to a dog?
A cat bite on a dog is treated by a vet according to the severity of the bite. The dog could only require the wound to be cleaned. The vet may prescribe antibiotics as a precaution to prevent any related illnesses that may occur. Normally a dog would not require stitches from a cat bite. The vet would determine the medical needs of the dog.
Is cat Bite dangerous?
Not unless the dog had rabies or the bite was to a fatal spot, such as the neck. Also be aware that a dog bite to a cat can cause an internal infection. The bite may not fester or abcess on the skin, but the infection could become systemic internally. I know this as my beloved cat died this morning after being diagnosed by a veterinarian that a healed bite punctured her lung and introduced bacteria. If your cat loses weight, is not as playful, and more lethargic following a dog bite--even weeks after the fact, there may be an internal infection that is deadly without early treatment.
