How can I stop my cat from bothering sore on upper back?
My 2year old male cat is allergic to fleas and recently had an infection. He is all treated and flea free now but just before I got to him he got a bite on the upper part of his back/lower neck which he obviously found very painfull/itchy because he scratched it so hard with his back paw it removed the fur around the area and left the skin all red and raw (but not broken).
The bite has gone down but he keeps worrying the sore area with his back paws and removing more fur. I suspect this is a combination of the fact that he’s got into the habit and he’s probably itching as the hair grows back.
I’m wary of taking him to the vets unless I need to since he’s not infected and the skin’s not broken and it doesn’t seem to cause him any pain – he lets me touch the area with no sign of pain. The sore is too low down for a collar to stop him getting to it. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get him to stop?

It sounds very difficult to get him to not scratch it,but i would try clipping his claws carefully,so that way scratching wont effect the area as much,or trying getting a bandage to somehow stay on the area. Thats about all i can think of. Best of luck to you.
