Re: hi staci, need your advice for cat again

[Guest guest]

- The aloe vera sounds like a great idea. Wrapping

might not be as good as allowing it to heal open to the

air - I think- as long as she lets you inspect her paws

and you and she keep them clean and relatively dry- her

wounds like ours will be ok.I think it is important that

you check the paw when she gets out of litter box - make

sure the area isn't red and oozy - just like any wound

you might have. Those were the instructions my vet gave

me- but understand I am not a vet and can't give

veterinary advice - just pet owner. You might want to

check on an over the counter antibiotic cream.... Again

I know my vet usually doesn';t mind answering simple

questions over the phone without charge- yours might not

either. I'll post on Prayers for Pets site and see if

they have some practical ideas beyond this...if they

come up with something I'll post.

Hugs and kisses to you and kitty,

Hi ,

It's probably a reaction to the hot wax and its removal, along with

some stress. My cat regularly rubs all the fur off one eyebrow, and

I just put a small amount of hydrocortisone cream on it for a couple

of days. don't worry about wrapping up his foot, that would be more

stress than he needs, plus might pull more fur out. Aren't cats

wonderful? Mine got his tail too close to a candle one Christmas and

burnt all the fur off the end. He never went near a candle again!

God bless,

Hi ,

Your poor kitty. I feel so bad for her. Something like vaseline jelly or

hydrocortisone cream might do the trick. Only problem would be that cats

like to lick when there is a foreign substance on them, so you might want to

be careful using anything that has medication in it. Oh, and the cat litter

may stick to it. I think that she'll be fine. Just keep an eye on it and

watch for oozing or any signs of infection. I would keep her in the house

until it clears up also. Don't want her picking up any other baggage from

outside. I hope she feels better soon. Don't worry, cats are strong

animals. It may just look worse than it actually is. Hope that I was able

to help.

Love and Hugs,

Ya know, when I get waxed, it doesn't grow back for 6 weeks!
