I have a 16 yr old (17 in October) Russian Blue cat who had cancer surgery in May. The tumor has already come back which sadly I was expecting. It is at the very end of her chin. Every time she goes to scratch I grab her paw, but that is something I can't do when I am at work or asleep. Yesterday morning she scratched and it started bleeding. I got it stopped then a little later it started again, but I got that stopped.
I took her to the vet and they drained it. She wore the core while I was at work, but I took it off when I got home and watched her. She seemed to be okay so I eventually went to sleep. I woke up about 12:30am and she had scratched it and of course it was still bleeding.
It is a catch 22. No collar and she can scratch. Collar and it puts pressure on it so it can't heal.
Reading other posts I am going to call later and ask about Neosporin or anti itch cream, but didn't know if any one has any other thoughts.

Ask the vet about applying coconut oil. It is supposed to be very soothing.
The vet can give you the best advice! Perhaps he/she can give you hints on how to adjust the cone so healing can happen. I would not use any cream or oil or ointment until the vet gives the thumbs up! Prayers for your and your sweet fur child!
