broken foot
I have a kitten that is 6 weeks old. Last week I noticed that his foot looked
funny. He had an ooze scab that wrapped around it by the toes and the pad looked all smashed. I wasn't too horribly worried about it though because he was getting around on it just fine and was in really good spirits. The only thing that seemed to bother him about it was when I touched it. A few days later I noticed wet ooze coming from the top of the foot. So yesterday I bought some neosporine and applied it to his foot and wrapped it. Today I took the bandage off and re-wrapped it but he tore it off and when I looked at his foot, there was a laceration that wrapped almost all the way around the top of his foot and it had fresh blood on it, which was new. I had never seen blood before. I don't have the money to take him to the vet. I already had to spend over $100 on him because he almost died of flea anemia. Help!!! If anybody has any advice I would really appreciate it. |

Hello Miss Erin,
Please call around and find a vet that might take payments, or beg or borrow what you can! This sounds pretty serious, and if an infection spreads -- you could even lose him. Not treating it right now will make it much more expensive to treat later, when it is a crisis. Hope you can find a way to get him in. Pets can be expensive, but they'll make it up to you.
