I noticed Tabby had a lump of gravel stuck in her paw last week. I took it out, cleaned the wound (there was a hole where it had stuck in) and have carried on cleaning it every day. Its on her hind left paw on the inside of the foot but not on the pads.I noticed that she was getting bits of litter stuck in it every time she used her tray so i covered it in gauze and a baby sock for a couple of days to give it time to heal. I've checked it again today and its just not healing. Its not bleeding and doesn't look infected but the hole looks bigger than before. It doesn't appear to be bothering Tab at all. She's not licking it or limping but she is sitting in the other room and ignoring me now. She's probably sick of me checking it.
I'm debating whether to take her to the vet tomorrow or wait a few days. Finances are extremely tight so its come just at the wrong time. Also, i use litter crystals in her tray. Should i change it to something softer on her feet? If so, what? Sorry if that sounds like a daft question but i'm a very inexperienced cat owner.
