Front paw infection

Help!! My poor little kitty Trixie has been having a rough time. Has anyone heard of this before?? Her front paw keeps getting infected for some reason. She is fifteen years old and only weighs 5 pounds but is healthy....as far as I know. She was declawed (front only) when she was a kitten. My vet at the time did a terrible job...seemed to have just ripped her claws out. Pads are deformed looking. Her paws always have been sensitive ever since. About a month ago, she had to have a minor amputation of one of her digits. Her paw pad had become inflamed and infected. The vet we go to now said the infection was in her bone so he removed the end of one of her digits...the middle one. Now the one next to it seems to be doing the same thing! She's back on antibiotics, but I don't know if it's doing any good. Any ideas anybody??

I am so sorry you are going through this. Nail regrowth and infection is a potential risk with declawing. I'm wondering if your current vet had taken x-rays of your cat's paws?

What antibiotic is your cat on? There are certain antibiotics that treat osteomyelitis (bone infection) better than others. Doxycycline is one of these.

Has your vet mentioned doing further surgery on your cat? I would make sure you have x-rays taken beforehand so that you can address any other issues as well. No need for this poor baby to have multiple back to back surgeries.

Now she's on Antirobe Aquadrops (clindamycin). She's been on this since Friday. My vet hasn't said anything yet about further, but if I have to take her back because it's not getting better, I'm thinking that will be what he suggests. As far as I know , there hasn't been any xrays done.

What other issues might xrays determine in the paws?
