It turned out quite well. Kitty had a chip of toothi embedded in his foot pad and that was causing the swelling. It has been removed and I have some anti-biotics and a salt bath to give him for a week or so (and no more outside with the dog).
Its quite amusing trying to give a cat a bath...
We recently moved and so this is the first time the kitty ever met a dog He just showed up one day, and decided we were his humans. I think it would be very difficult to keep him inside all the time due to his previous feral nature. The first two weeks that I kept him inside after we moved...
Last night my kitty friend got into a fight with a dog. When he came back inside he was a bit annoyed but seemed fine.
This morning his front leg has swollen up and he is hopping around on three legs. He doesn't mind me touching it too much (just pulls away but doesn't vocalize or scratch)...
