Awwwww!!!!!!
That Looks As Though Peggy Has A Boxing Glove On As Though She Was Following In The Footsteps Of Max Schmeling.

We Are Praying That Her White Coat Can Reduce That Swelling And Thats Theres No Danger To Her Paw At All.
The Lucky Found Paradise Hotel Cats Are Kissing The Screen To Make Peggys Paw All Better.

Poor Peggy.

It sure looks sore and I hope she'll heal up quickly. Too bad she can't become an indoor cat all of the time.

I hope the meds start working quickly and she will feel way more comfortable soon!

I just spoke to my mom on the phone, and she said that today, her paw looks even more swollen, and she's walking on three legs.

Could be that it just takes some time for the meds to kick in, but to be on the safer side, she'll go back to the white coats. Yesterday, her vet mentioned the risk of her bone getting infected, as it's very close to the affected area. I hope this did not happen by now!!!

I'm on my way now and will keep you updated!

Awe... poor, sweet Peggy!! I hope the vet will be able to provide her some relief and that the bone is affected! Gentle hugs and pets to Peggy.

Thanks!

Well, the abscess opened today and a lot of pus and blood came out. And she's whining and even hissing when you touch her paw. She's also licking her paw a lot.

But the vet said it's good that that the wound is now open; btw, he thinks it's a marten bite.

Poor little Peggy!! And when things go very bad, it could be that the affected digit has to be amputated.

Here are some photos I took after the vet visit, they are very graphic, so please scroll down if you want to take a look:

Doesn't it look just awful? Poor Peggy is so miserable!! She's not eating much and looks depressed, but she wanted some cuddle time after the vet visit, and she even purred when she got some bellyrubs.
