Poor Peggy hurt her paw!!! (new update #25 + new pics)

Poor sweet Peggy. That does look painful, but happy to hear that it broke. It must relieve the pressure and pain some. Have a full and speedy recovery sweetie.

Does Peggy use a litter box at all Kirsten, as I would also be concerned about the litter getting into the opening. I know they have special litter for things like this, like for when a cat is declawed. Maybe your Mom could ask the vet and look into it and I PRAY that she will keep her inside until she is completely healed, so she doesn't get dirt in it or hurt it even more so.

Please give her a kiss on that pretty little head of her's.

Aw, pretty little calico girl. I sure hope this clears up fast. It looks so sore, poor girl.

Here there is a litter called "Yesterday's News," made from old newspaper, which is better to use for cats that have open wounds on their paws. Is there anything like that in Germany? Maybe Peggy's vet will have some suggestions.

A marten bite! That must have HURT. I am glad the wound opened and is draining now...the healing will go faster!

Did the vet say anything to your mom about Peggy being INDOORS from now on?

What the heck is a marten? Is that a type of spider or something? Will have to look this up now...

Poor Peggy. I hope it starts to heal up quickly. I know Calloway's abscess on his tail took a while to heal. I had to put warm compresses on it, and use betadine.

A marten is a rodent type of creature! TEETH! UGH!

OMG... that is just a nasty looking creature!!! Never seen one here in PA, that's for sure! But maybe we call them something else? They're really unpleasant looking. She's probably lucky she didn't get hurt worse. I hope Peggy gets to stay inside from now on!
