I was giving my cat a haircut because unfortunately, he’s super aggressive towards any veterinarian hospital we’ve gone to. He is not up-to-date with vaccines and rabies shots due to his aggression. Every single vet we’ve gone to. They just will not let him in and with that my cat is an outside cat he decided to get this big matting on the side of him and since he won’t let us take us like take him to go get a haircut and he’s aggressive towards other people he left us with no chance but to cut it at home and got a grooming kit, so I was trying to take this big matting off and I was being careful I was watching a tutorial, but unfortunately, I accidentally sniffed him and that area. It’s like you see the skin where it was snipped, but you only see a little bit of redness, almost like blood, but it’s not much and since I’m unable to take him to the vet. What can I do?
