Hello,
My sister's cat's front paws has been swollen a little for about a month. I think it might be pillow paw, but it doesn't look as bad as the pics I've seen on the internet. He's a Russian Blue male, about 2-3 years old. He's not been bitten or stung or anything that we know of, and I think that type of swelling would have gone down by now. We had him at the vet about a month ago, but they said nothing about it, didn't seem concerned. He is in no pain, he runs, jumps, uses his paws with no problems at all. We've been soaking his paws in shallow water, to see if that will help reduce the swelling. Have any of you ever had this sort of problem with your cat? He is strictly an ourside cat, so we can't keep him inside.
Thanks for all help.

I would take him to another vet, a swollen paw is not normal.
