Moli's hurt her paw

[Naomi]

I got Moli in this morning to have her breakfast and a quick ckeck over to make sure she's okay and she's cut her foot.

I can't see whether she's part ripped her claw out or ripped her pad on one of her back paws. She really didn't like me touching it, she gave a little hiss and a spit when I went to bathe it in salt water :(

I'll see what it's like tomorrow and if it's not any better it looks like a trip to the vets.

Poor baby! Hope she'll be OK and if not I know you'll take her to get it sorted.
Maybe try again to see if she'll let you put it in a bowl of blood heat warm water with a teaspoon of salt in it? Helps keep it clean and isn't harmful. Keep away from the Dettol/Savlon type preparations, which are poisonous to cats.

Poor Moli, hope it isn't anything too serious :(

[Mags]

Poor Moli....is she able to put her paw on the ground Nae?

I would agree with DM.....try to swish her paw around in some warm salt water...

[Naomi]

She's jumping about like normal, walking okay and she's eating normally.

[Donna]

Poor Moli. hope her paw heals quickly.

[Jac]

Hope Moli's ok today

[Naomi]

I've managed to have a closer look and she's ripped her pad :(

[Booktigger]

Aww, the poor baby

[Sweet]

Awwwww poor Molly please give her huggles from us all x

[Naomi]

I'm not sure what to do about Moli. She keeps trying to nibble the bit of her pad that's ripped, off

Should I let her or should I try and stop her?

[Hreow]

If it is a lose flap of skin, I'd get a pair of disinfected scissors and cut it neatly because if she tears it off, the bit left will be ragged and more likely to make a good home for dirt and bacteria. If it is actually a bit of pad, then I don't know. Vet?

2nd paw in from the left as your looking at the piccie. The pinkie bit is where the pad has come away from the foot.

[Fran]

Think I might be inclined to let the vet check that over Nae? Do let us know how she gets on x

[Naomi]

Moli's at the vets this afternoon at 3:40, will let you know how we get on later.

[Naomi]

OKay not long got back from the vets. The vets cut off the bit of loose pad and said it'll grow back and toughen up in time. In the mean time it's gonna be sore. She's also had her flea treatment and some ear drops as she may have ear mites. In total this vet visit cost me £25

Glad she's alright, youth is on her side she will heal quickly.

[Naomi]

She's jumping about like an idiot chasing leaves and stuff round the garden so it can't be that bad :D

[Donna]

Glad Moli saw the vets today. They are a worry!!

[Mags]

Glad it's not bothering her too much Nae..........

[Fran]

Glad it is nothing too serious Nae. Hope Moli is less sore very soon x

[Moli]

Pleased she is on the mend....
