Hello everyone.
This is my first time posting here, and it is because I can not seem to figure anything out from any other source.
A couple of weeks ago, my cat came home with a super swollen paw. He was having a hard time walking and spent most of his time resting and trying to heal, and he wouldn't let me take a good look at this paw. When I finally did, I looked as though he'd punctured his foot. There was bleeding and hairless patches.
Now, on the top of his paw, there are also hairless areas that seem to have one single puncture wound. The area used to be red and aggrivated, but now it is turning blue and I'm quite worried.
I don't want to take him straight to the vet since he's had so many issues being an aggresive outdoor cat and he's gotten better all on his own even though I worried and made a big deal out of things.
I have a feeling that he might be allergic to something. What do you think could be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
- Faye
