Recovery time for infected paw

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
We brought a stray that has been living on our deck to the vet because she was limping. The vet lanced an infected spot on her paw. We now giving her an antibiotic twice a day. Anyone have an idea how long it takes for something like that to heal? She will only eat cat treats and we have been giving her a fair amount of those. Can eating only cat treats (Party Mix) for a few days hurt her? Thanks for any suggestions.

It may take a couple of weeks to get it completely healed up, and a paw infection is a real problem for cat, due to their bathroom habits.

You might try giving the cat kitten food. It has a higher fat and protein amount and it tastes really good to most cats. Then, when the cat is feeling better, slowly wean it off the kitten food.

Try canned kitten food.

Midnight's paw took a long time to heal. A little over 3 weeks for him to actually get back to running around without limping.
