Lexi hurt her paw...

[JuniorxMyxLove]

Ouch! That does look sore.

Remind me, is she indoor only? Or does she go outside, even if it is just in the back yard with you?

Yeah she's indoor only, all our cats are.

Ouchy Ouchy = Please take Lexi to the Vet.. That looks to be inflamed with fever in the paw.. Poor baby.. Lexi stay indoors & get that wittle paw well ok.. Gentle whisker kissess..

I've actually been just carrying her around with me cause I feel bad about her having to walk

I think I'll talk to my mom about taking her to the vet tomorrow morning if it's not any better.

Well good & I hope your mom will aggree that Lexi needs to see a Vet.. Looking at the pic of her paw tells me Lexi has chewed on it & got the pad raw.. Now have you checked her nails good to see if there is a prob there?? I would say maybe try some Neosporine & do a wrap.. But then hate to do that in case Lexi is chewing & or the paw does need air around it.. Best to take her to your Vet.. I just wish I could kiss her poor wittle paw.. Good Luck & keep us posted ok..

She's actually declawed in her front paws, so no nail issues there.

I feel like if we wrap it [which my mom wants to do instead of going to the vet] then it'll annoy Lexi and she'll only irritate it more.

I think I'm just gonna try and force my mom to take her to the vet tomorrow. It should be interesting.

If Lexi's in pain, then it's absolutely necessary. I do hope that it's nothing serious. Please keep us updated.

that almost looks like a burn. Might Lexi have jumped up on the stove or stepped in something caustic? I would advise against trying to bandage it yourself. Too loose and she'll probably just pull it off. Too tight is even worse- I've seen a cat lose toes from a bandage being too tight.

Keep nagging for a vet visit!

If Lexie will allow it, warm salt water can help...1/2 tsp to a pint. Put the water in a deep bowl and see if Lexie will allow you to soak her owie in it for a few minutes...salt water is a good basic antiseptic and it might give her some comfort until she can see the vet.

Get-well hugs and kissies to Lexie!

Poor Lexi. I hope that your mom will take your advice and take her to the vet tomorrow. Good luck.
