Bandage for a hurt kitten foot?

As I posted before my kitten is now almost 4 days old. He had the cord wrapped around his ankle and foot...

I massaged it, I called a vet (but they said he's too young to do anything), so I was wondering.... since he can't do anything, I cleaned the foot and bandaged it with the roll gauze. I just don't want it to get infected. The swelling looks like less but it just doesn't look good, I think either it's going to have to be taken off... or something. 

Will he be okay with that bandage? I don't want the mom trying to kill him... she seems to be feeding him fine, and treating him normal. He tries to use that foot with the bandage. I want my lil baby to live! 

The mom is apparently accepting him with the bandage.

So the question left, is if the bandage does help, or may be a hindrance for the blood circulation.

There may be pro and contra!

Im not sure at this moment!  I want the though to mature. 

You write, he tries to use the foot with bandage on.  Did he did so also without the bandage?

It just drags there... but I'm scared of it without. I don't do it tight. But I just don't want an infection...

I meant his foot just drags without the bandage... it's a dead foot.

Is there an actual wound where an infection could develop?

If the bandage seems to stabilize the foot so it can be used somewhat, there is a point to use it. so the muscles are working. Not used muscles disappear.

Make sure to have the bandage rather loose so it doenst hinder the blood circulation.

Good luck!   *vibes*

Thanks and yes now it seems like there is a wound so I will bandage it. I called vets and humane society and all keep telling me he's too young to do anything. My heart breaks. I care so much about animals, that I want to protect them.
