I have a pictus cat and I noticed this morning that he hads a wound on his right side that is about 5mm wide and I am pretty sure it is from my yellow lab which I am getting rid of soon
but he does eem normal and active but he freaks out when ever another fish goes near

so what should I do?

Can you post your water stats please in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
Does the wound look infected.
Is the wound white and does it have any redness to it.
