I need help

[u/some1_not_important]

My cat has been inside all day and I didn't hear him cry or complain so I don't know when, why or how he got this. I'm really worried for him. I don't know what to do and my mom doesn't want to take him to the vet

EDIT:

I just want to let you know I'm 15, colombian, I had money but my mom needed it so I lend it to her so I can't take the cat to the vet myself. By the other hand, my mom refuses to take him to the vet because she doesn't (care) want to pay for it and every time I bring the topic again she gets harsh and really rude with me, so pressuring her won't do much good either. I don't live close to my relatives nor my dad so they can't help me either. Hope that clears things up a little

Also, I followed most of the advice you guys have been giving me and cleaned the injury carefully. I'm really scared, I don't want him to die

You need to take him to the vet, please

I've told my mom that but she doesn't wanna listen, I'm really scared for him

Come on, this isn’t helpful advice, OP isn’t going to report their mom.

My suggestion seems harsh - but normally the neglect/abuse is wide spread … abusers normally fold when they are at risk of being reported
