My kitty has been leaving little drops of blood on my bed sheets and my parents bed sheets, while sleeping on our beds at night. My mom and I discovered that it was her paw. It looks badly infected, I want to take her to the vet but my mom wants to try hydrogen peroxide before taking her to the vet. Should skip trying to fix it at home and just take her to the vet? poor kitty :C

That's good you got your mother to take her to the vet. Hopefully your cat's paw has a quick recovery!

Yep, I don't think hydrogen peroxide will fix that! OUCH, poor kitty. The vet will give you something to clear that right up

Yeah, that does look infected. I wouldn't be surprised if the vet wants to give her antibiotics. Poor kitty.

We took her in, she said it was infected and they gave her an antibiotic shot and gave us some stuff to mix with water and said to hold her paw in it for 5 minutes every day. Poor kitty!! We did it, she fussed at first but then relaxed, I think she realizes we're helping her

Glad you guys got it taken care of. I bet she does know you're trying to help. I know my guy gets closer and closer to me every time I take him to the vet and fix him up. They are pretty smart. her paw heals fast!

That's good that her paw is being treated. Hopefully she heals quickly

Oh, I hope your kitty gets better quick. Did the vet say what in the world might have caused the infection.
