Cut carpal padWas playing with Myszka this morning and noticed him limping after leaping for the toy. Checked him out and he's got skin missing from both carpal pads. It's new as didn't see yesterday, it doesn't smell, seems healthy colour. I've just washed in salt water, and will continue to wash/monitor and will keep him for a couple days. Do you think that's enough for now? I think I have some old hibiscrub around from my rats, but does it go off? Is it worth getting some more? Or any other product that's good?

Oh dear  sounds like Myszka has had a nasty scrape or burn to his pads, I think what you are doing with well diluted salt water is good for now, Hibiscrub would be a bit too strong and may sting!  Is there some where he's been that could have caused a burn? it may be contact with a corrosive liquid?? If you feel it's getting worse or there is a risk of him licking I'd get him to a vet  |

I did consider a burn, but the rest of his pads are fine. No sign of anything. It possible something corrosive? But again no sign of damage to his fur... I can only think he was climbing something or jumping and got caught? I'll keep up with the salt and keep a close eye on him. Thanks! |
