I have a foster cat who jumped up on the kitchen counter when he got scared the other morning. I had a burner going on the stove and he jumped down immediately. I smelled singed fur but he jumped away so fast and that I didn't see what happened. He seemed okay for the next couple of days but today I noticed that he seemed to have licked the fur off the back of his leg, where he apparently been singed.

I'd like to apply some ointment or something else to make sure the area doesn't get infected.

Can anyone recommend a good ointment? Do you recommend a cone to prevent him from licking the ointment?

Thanks for whatever suggestions you can provide!
