So sorry to hear about that! Try not to blaim yourself, it was an accident. I know how you feel, I backed my van over my aging kitty that couldn't move fast enough, and I didn't see her, crushing her spine and hips. We had to put her down, so you can imagine my guilt! Our cats never go outside anymore.

Anyway, it sounds like it is a small wound, and if you keep a close eye on it, I think it will heal on it's own. If she is a cat that goes outside at all, try to keep her inside for a few days to make sure she doesn't get anything nasty in the wound. I would have used an antiseptic wipe on it when it first happened, but other than that, I think you will do fine.

However, if the cat's behaivor changes, feels warm with fever, or any kind of a discharge or swelling starts at the wound site, seek medical attention right away.

My thoughts are with you and kitty!
