Can cats get bed sores and how can they be prevented or treated?

Yes, cats can get bed sores, also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers. These sores are caused by prolonged pressure on a specific area of the body, leading to tissue damage. To prevent bed sores in cats, it is important to provide them with a soft and padded resting area, regularly change their position, and ensure they have proper nutrition and hydration. If a cat develops a bed sore, treatment may involve cleaning the wound, applying topical medications, and providing supportive care to promote healing. In severe cases, veterinary intervention may be necessary.
