Hi,
I've noticed my 6 yr old. cat is often sitting with her left front paw in the air. She's not limping but favoring it. The rest of her behavior is fine...still playful the odd time (her usual amount). She still lays on her back frequently. She is not the cuddliest cat so it is hard for me to get near it. When I did get to check it out (after the 8th attempt) I noticed that one of her paw pads has a dark scab near the back of it. Is this something I should be worried about? Are there any home remedies to help heal a scab quickly?? I don't think it's a "vet needed" thing but are there any warning signs I should look out for??
