So yesterday morning, I took my kitten in because he got a minor cut on his leg that the vet needed to glue up. She told me to try to put him in a cone so he wouldn't lick and reopen it. When I put the cone on, he went absolutely nuts, started running into walls. He looked completely crazy (understandably). I decided this was probably more harmful to him than not having one, so I removed it.
Last night, I noticed he had matted hair around his tail. I am wondering if he is overgrooming due to an injury there from all of his flailing. He lets me touch is somewhat, but does squirm a little. He is still jumping, running, playing, eating, drinking. No incontinence, and no change in behavior. Does this warrant a trip to the vet?
ALSO: this is not fleas. They were recently treated with flea meds (2 weeks ago) and no fleas on the flea comb.
