"My cats got a minging..."

cut on the back of her head. I has stroking her last night when she came up to me and I got a blood on my fingers and felt a minging gooee thing.I looked closer and she had a huge gash the on her head, it isn't deep but really big. I looked at it again today and the edges have gone yellow, it's not closed up and the fur around it is matted with dirt and blood:S. I think she must have got cut on some barbed wire (We live near a few fields) but amn't sure what to do. Should I leave her to heal it by herself as cats have a great healing process like dogs for some obscure reason or should I take her to the vet? It's not deep enough for stitches or anything but I could ask what they think...If anyone has a cat or similar animal and has any advice please post back.

P.s. Who cares if it's in the wrong forum. This one could use some livening up anyway.

What? I have a ginger tomcat that always gets in fights and he told us to that with him.

The salt kills of infections.

Warm salty water....my god, my god

Wash it with warm salty water if it doesn't start to clear up take it to the vets.
