cat absesses

How can I treat to what looks like an absess on the back of my cat. I was wondering if you knew how to clean and treat them. The holes look to be getting larger. There was a huge bump and when i came home noticed puss all over her back. Now there are two more i believe or might be bight wounds. I can not afford to go to the vet. I'm sorry I can not donate any money due to being jobless and bills.

Unfortunately it is likely that an infection has set in and that is why the wound is getting bigger. Antibiotics are the only thing to help.

I do have a web page about cat first aid which talks about cat abscess's etc which you may find of help here
