Poor Phoebe! I too thought gangrene when I saw the title of this thread...thank God it's not! Kitty paw injuries are such a pill to deal with. My dear goofy Abagail was born feral, and somehow had crushed her tiny kitten foot while still outside. It took multiple White Coat visits, and different treatments before the bleeding finally stopped and it scabbed over. In the end, she was left with a third of her front paw, and several claws had to be removed when she was spayed. I got quite a scare when she was limping a few months ago, but she was OK after several days. She's middle aged now, and just the goofiest girl. Abagail sends noserubs to Phoebe, and hopes she heals up fast. She also wants to autograph Phoebe's bandage.
