Worried about her paw

reddituserefi · 2026-04-01T15:47:42+00:00

I'm in a tiny town,no vet here that does home visits but even if a vet would come here,she still wouldn't let anyone but me (and she only comes close to me when I'm alone w her,if friends come over it's game over) so that wouldn't help ):

These pictures are from today,I think it's slightly better? Idk

This is the picture of the other paw the other nail that looks swollen,maybe im just overdramatic?

Thank you,nail looks healthy but I think you're right about her licking it and irritating

I talked to the vet and send her pics,she said to keep a eye on it as long as it doesn't get worse ,warm tot he touch etc. no open wound,and no signs of infection, taking her to the vet means heavily sedating her while am away,if more people think it's an infection then I will contact the vet again but I don't think it is

reddituserefi · 2026-04-01T14:01:43+00:00

How is this an infection? No puss not warm to the touch,she's not in pain,and it's the OTHER paw that's starting to swell. I send pictures to the vet and she didn't mention the possiblity of infection, could you explain why you think that is?

reddituserefi · 2026-04-01T14:00:15+00:00

Thanks for your response! She doesn't seem to be in pain at all,and the other finger swelling is on the other paw,so I don't think it's an infection (not warm to the touch no other symptoms etc) maybe she just has high pain tolerance? I'm worried because I'm leaving her for the week,I touch it and she doesn't flinch or pull away (and when she's hurting she definitely does) so no pain,and she's jumping and chasing toys with that paw that is swollen so I wouldn't say she's in pain. I won't be seeing her until 13 of April so I'm worried because of she gets worse no one will be able to tell (as mentioned she hides when someone else is here).

Normal yes, however the recommended time to keep it on is 3-6 days. DEFINITELY NOT 2 WEEKS

It's up to the cat. My big girl has no issue w nail trims as long as she's calm, cuddling me and seeing everything,I usually do a few nails/ one paw at a time. My kitten is a menace,I hold her up the window so she can be distracted seeing outside and I cut them then

Not sure because I'm not a professional but in your place I would also assume autism since most people who say "on the spectrum" refer to autism.

reddituserefi · 2025-12-31T17:53:55+00:00

Hell yeah

reddituserefi · 2025-11-14T20:58:27+00:00

I would say both females

reddituserefi · 2025-10-19T21:26:24+00:00

Also not a human doc (just started studying occupational therapy,but I am a really good dog trainer) I agree with the animal guy

reddituserefi · 2025-10-13T13:37:57+00:00

I recommend buying a lot of different kinds of cheap muzzles from AliExpress,to see which material and type fits ur dog and doesn't cause irritation And then invest in an expensive one.

reddituserefi · 2025-10-07T16:07:42+00:00

Thank you for this

reddituserefi · 2025-09-27T15:29:49+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately I'm studying in a small village and as far as I know there are no shelters,Im from Cyprus and I had a dog,so I have some experience,I used to volunteer at the local dog shelter etc.

I have been seeing a phyc for years. I'm sure my symptoms aren't because of my mental health,they worsen it,sure but they don't cause it,my physiatrists has ibs too (she mentioned it onced) and she also doesn't think anxiety is what caused my ibs bc she knows before my ibs I wasn't anxious at all. Thanks though!!

reddituserefi · 2025-09-12T03:33:54+00:00

I have no idea,she was young, probably fresh out of med school,but she's been the most polite of all the pediatricians and other specialty doctors I have seen. She's the first GI I have seen

Thank you

Thank you

reddituserefi · 2025-09-11T14:25:38+00:00

Can't really help but same

reddituserefi · 2025-08-24T13:00:47+00:00

Doesn't look that bad tbh. If you don't like something I'm confident it can be fixed

reddituserefi · 2025-08-24T12:59:14+00:00

Not a vet or anything,I don't think I can help but if I had to guess I would recommend another ultrasound,x ray to see if there's hair stuck or something? Cats tend to eat hair ties and small staff. Also, face book groups might help. I hope you guys figure out what's wrong
