A couple of weeks back my cat got into a fight and got a bad scratch. The wound seemed to get infected with this gross cyst/abscess but a few trips to the vet and a course of antibiotics seem to sort it out ok.

However, i noticed last night that the skin around the wound has now turned blue :/ The vet shaved the area so I have a pretty good view. She is off to the vet in a few hours but was just wondering if anyone had any ideas? She is eating/pooping as normal.

It could be bruising, it could be infection. Definitely a good thing you're going to the vet. I'd be curious to find out what it is.

Hey thanks, the vet didn't seem to be too concerned. She scratched the skin to check circulation was still in the affected area (it was) and said it's to be expected with this type of thing. She said it felt "thinner" around the wound, I think it's dead skin cells under the skin or something equally gross.
