I cannot go to the vet with my cat. I simply cannot afford the cost in my current state of living, so please do not suggest that I consult my vet. I can't.
Anyways, I have a young, male cat who gets into fights with the neighborhood kitties. He usually just comes home with some cuts (hes an outside cat, he can't stand my dogs) that heal up in a few days. But, one day his paw swelled up, and got so he could not walk on it. Then, it went away and he was fine.
This has happened about 3 times.
But this last time, an 'abcess' formed on his paw, and has not gone away. The fur is getting gross between his pads, but when I go to inspect it, he bites and claws. Is there a way to calm him down, or sedate him enough so I can get to it?
