Hello all you lovely cat lovers.
I'm in a bit of a bind as I started my new job and qont get paid for 2 weeks. I have an appointment for my cat the day I get paid to take him to the vet.
As for now, I've came here to seek any advice you guys have.
So I have a 2 year old long hair cat named Trouble (male, neutered). He is an indoor cat, however 2 nights ago he got out for about an hour because my roommate left the door open. We found him and cleaned him up. I didnt notice any scratches or anything wrong at that moment.
Now, 2 days later I was going to clip his claws (which i do about every 2 weeks or so). I noticed his back right foot was tender and on further inspection I saw it was so very swollen and some yellow pus was coming out.
The flesh around the toe is almost swallowing his toenail. I know its infected I'm not sure why. Is this a disease or something else? Am I doing the right thing in trying to treat it until I can get into the vet? (Also, the vet wont see him unless I can pay)
What I did:
Cleaned would with diluted hydrogen peroxide
Put neosporin on it
Put an e-collar on to minimize him messing with it
Going to start doing a sea salt/water rinse
Note- He is eating and drinking fine
