Now show me how to do this to the paw of my 20 pound angry tomcat
Let it die m8
I was thinking the same question. My neighbors cat is very very pissed. His paw split open completely. Very very upset when cleaning the dirt out of it
I was wondering the same thing....
pay some 1 else to do it if u care enuf
Try doing this with a wild tomcat, if you can’t catch him in first place.
It would be easy if your cat not running around panicking and meowing and splash some blood into your face 😌
Wha
you think everything is easy, son?
What are you talking about goofy?
The cat was like: Are we there yet? Are you done now? Lol Thats a very patient kitty :)
such a good compliant cat
This video is exactly 💯 what I needed. Perfect explanation 👌
Was that cat sedated, goodluck getting the average house cat or outdoors cat to lay still for that long.
Blanket is for protection you must not be good with cats
What do you call that stretchable plaster type thing
@@biscuit9535 its just an adhesive bandage wrap, you can find them on amazon or sometimes in the first aid isles in stores
I just did this by myself with my cat who has a pretty gnarly injury. Totally possible depending on the cat’s temperament.
very helpful video, thank you.
Thanks for the video - well done. We are despirate to help a feral cat in our neighborhood whose pads were somehow badly injured, BUT the cat will not let us even try to hold him still to help. We trapped him and took him to the emergency vet - 60 miles away - 5 weeks ago (who said pads were burned) -- they sedated the cat - pretty much made him zone out so he could be handled --and gave antiboitic shot and cleaned up the cat best they could. We brought him home and have confined hime to a bedroom to heal and get better overall. He is much better but still bleeding from from paw pads because he licks them. Bottom line, he will not let us hold him for any type meds. I'm sure you can't help in such situations, but would love to know some way to calm down/sedate the cat so we can do as you've suggested in the video. Very frustrating for us and the cat. Sorry to ramble. Note: Yes, we could take him again to the vet that treated him, but we just do not have the 400 dollars to do this again.
Please tell more
@@aditianupam9675 Thank you for asking. He is FINE NOW. In fact, he has fully recovered and is very healthy ... and happy. We keep him fed and with good nutrition and he has a nice warm place to stay. Cats seem incredibly resilient.
I have a black feral cat with a hurt pad on his paw. He will only allow me to touch him but he won’t come inside my house. I don’t have the money to take him to the vet. I don’t know what to do,I feel so sorry for him. He’s such a lovable boy with the prettiest green eyes.
@@conniepocowatchit926If you can manage to put some neomycin sulfate ("Neosporin" or store brand tube of antibiotic ingredient) on the pad once a day, that will prevent infection and quickly promote healing. Yes, the cat may lick it off every day but it appeared to us not to harm the cat over a few days period - please do your own research and decide for yourself, but it appears to have helped our guy in the recovery process.
Thanks a lot! Me and my family has COVID so we can’t go to the vet. We have all the materials so thank you once again!
Thank you 💕 😊
I can’t really afford the vet right now will my cat be ok ?
Or should I go take out a loan just in case idk
dont worry 🐈 will be fine
Is your cat fine ?
@@akshaysumbare2981 yes it is
Ashwini Sumbare ya he healed good
Thank you! I’m trying to figure out how this happened to my baby he’s hurting so bad!
what do i do if i dont have a cone collar
What a good kitty model. Makes a lovely lampshade too.
Gross behavior.
@@tvspy9770 what do you mean?
Lampshade?
@@Biggamer86 the “cone of shame”. Dumb attempt at humour, please forgive me.
@@klarag7059 don’t worry i understood ur joke lol they are just slow
What kind of tape is that? Does it have a name?
There is a stray cat I am taking care of, one of his paws (one toe) looks a little stumped and he is limping but there is no bleeding or swelling and he is also able to walk almost normally and lean on it a little but while he sits he keeps it folded. I don't know what to do, please help.
Tks
my kitten has dark brown paw pads soft, but now it is white and hard missing pieces of pads. it used to live outside. idk what to do.
Do not use hydrogen peroxide according to my kitties Vet as it burns the skin and hurts them. if you do so, they will remember you "as the person hurting them" and will either hiss at you/ bite you any chance they get or leave you and never see you again.
Solution: Wash with warm water, mild soap, rinse and dry thoroughly then apply an Antiseptic cream once all the dirt came off. You would need to do this multiple times since sometimes, the dirt is hard to remove. You also have an option to soak the paw to water, that is if they are used to the water. Wrap the bandage, put a cone to prevent them from licking off the cream, and keep them indoor for at least 7 days for the wound to heal. Apply the cream once for 7 days.
You can also boil Guava leaves as this also contains Antiseptic properties if you can't afford a cream. The last option would be hydrogen peroxide but dilute it in an equal part of water. I repeat: this is your last option as this hurts them.
Since I have no one to help me with handling my avoidant kitties (everyone's afraid to be bitten), I'll just do what the other person did on this video- wrap them in a warm soft towel. Good luck to all of us :)
Where I can buy this tape in India
guess my cat's a magician. bandage, e collar and he got the bandage off in just 30 min. to be honest he had a soft collar, cause when he wears a rigid one he goes crazy and it's the worst...well I wonder what my next move should be... they should make a video on how to bandage a troublemaker/possesed/ Houdini cat
Well. I used human antipodes, I hope that works. Thank you
Please help..I am watchin this all because A male stray cat is roaming around, I have checked him and his is having several cuts and boils in his paws.. what should i do
My cat pad is cut it make me so mad because I don’t really have the money for the doc to check hem 😓
Ivan Donaire is ur cat better now, cuz I’m in the same situation right now
What happened is he ok
I’m in the same situation
Pets should be included in any national health services and funding
I'll pass on my experience dealing with an injured cat paw. My cat got a bad scrape on the side of a toe between his toes. He also licked his wound obsessively until it bled.
Assuming a simple wound (no stitches, not terribly big) and the cat is an indoor cat...
You'll need:
Self adhesive bandage
"Cast padding" This is a cotton strip about 1 cm in thickness
A roll of cotton gauze
Gauze squares, about 2x2
Silver based antibiotic ointment
Scissors to cut the strips
Medical tape
A rigid cone aka "elizabethan collar" or "e-collar". Should go about 2 inches beyond their nose and should be tied around the neck tight enough that you can barely get a pinkie between it and the neck. Any looser and they can find ways to pull it off.
1. Take them to a vet. Let them examine them for breaks, infection, etc. Once the vet has cleaned the wound they will bandage it.
2. You will need to replace the dressing about every 12 hrs or so and after about 4 days let it air dry. This depends on how the wound looks of course.
3. Now keep a cone on them. Use a hard cone. A cat will figure out how to bend a soft cone to reach their paw. They can even dig their hind claws into it and pull it off. If they aren't coned they may obsessively lick their wound until it is raw.
4. When redressing them you need two people. One to hold them and another to do the dressing. Put the cone on so they don't try to bite. Wrap the cat in a towel pretty snuggly then press on them a bit with your upper body. If it is a back paw one arm will also be by the tail blocking the tail and the other paw. The injured paw should be on top, not resting on the table. The cone should still be on them.
5. Remove the dressing by unwinding it. The self-adhesive bandage should come off easily once you find the start and you can even reuse it if it is clean.
6. Check the bandage to see how much the wound has wept. Examine the wound to see if it is healing, signs of infection, etc. If it looks worse bring them to the vet. Now take a damp towel and gently clean the paw then pat it dry the best you can. Do not rub the wound.
7. Apply an antibiotic ointment, preferably a silver one, liberally around the wound.
8. Now make a stack of some 2x2 gauze pads and put them around the toes like a toe cap.
9. Wrap the cast padding ribbon around the paw (see note).
10. Wrap the gauze ribbon around the paw (see note).
11. Wrap the self adhesive bandage around the paw. Be careful to not make it too tight. It should be firm, but still squishy. GO ALL THE WAY UP PAST THE ANKLE. If you don't go above the ankle the cat can shake or pull the dressing off. This will impede their ability to bend their foot so they may have trouble jumping and such but this is better than not healing.
* After about 4 days you can consider letting it go unbandaged and air dry. The wound shouldn't be weeping at this point though.
* After about 10 days you can consider removing the cone and consider them healed but it depends on the condition of course. If it still looks red keep the cone on and check with a vet.
Wrapping:
*Start about midway up the top of the paw and go forward over the toes then under the paw to the ankle then start wrapping down toward the toes.
*About 2/3 of the way to the toes angle it across the front of the toes then wrap around then back up the other side of the toes making a figure 8. Work your way back up to the ankle.
*When doing the outer bandage you can finish with a securing loop of medical tape around the top but make sure it isn't wrapped on the fur, only the bandage.
Warnings:
* Do not feel sorry for them and take the cone off without supervising them closely. The cat may respond to the bandage by trying to gnaw it off and create another wound. Only let them go cone free if you can supervise them or are absolutely sure they are not chewing on it. Remember, a few days of an unhappy cat is much better than a losing a paw to an infection.
* When letting the wound air dry make sure the cone is on them until the wound is fully healed. About 10 more days. Only remove the cone to let them eat, bathroom, etc with full supervision and in a room they can't run out of and hide.
* Vets can provide an anti-anxiety medication that may help your cat during this stressful time. Slip it into food because it is bitter. The Greenies brand makes pill pocket snacks that are good for this.
* Again, don't cheat on the cone! If your cat goes after the wound you could end up all the way back at square one or even worse!
Thank you 🙏🏼 🫶🏼
i have a question i have a kitten who s paw got ripped and when i put the band aids on the ripped paw pad which got unstucked from the paw bend back back should i be worry ? And if yes who do i put the paw pat back to normal.
p.s i can't take it to a vet since my parents basically hate the kitten cause it was a stray and they insist in saying the the his paws will heal by it self
your parents have serious issues to hate a kitten
and refuse vet care.
What ointment are you using i can not exactly hear the name of it.
+Marcus D
Plain Neosporin, absent of any numbing additive such as lidocaine.
ckaz007 ... thank you, I couldn’t hear the name of it either.
My cat has a bleeding pad...how to treat that?
My vet said to not cover wound at all? She just recommended neosporin & a collar. This was months ago, and my cat (who looks exactly like kitty in video) is having same issue with excessive licking & blisters on paw pad. Need to find a new vet bc they can’t seem to tell me what this is
my kitty Luna also looks exactly the model cat!!!! except omg not at all as compliant hahaha
To treat a street cat is not easy they don't come in hand to put meds I am not able to put any meds on her she is hurt badly by a dog my family does not want to help or support in anyway it's difficult for me to keep on trying it's not working
My cat injured his paw and he was bleeding profusely. Bleeding all over my house! I was so worried and freaked out because it looked like a deep cut. I took him to the vet and the vet applied pressure on the wound, and did the dressing. He gave him some injections too but turn out when I came back home my cat started licking it and trying to remove the dressing. I tried to hold him for a long time and then after some time he removed the dressing gosh! And he was bleeding again. Then it stopped bleeding and I was relieved. But now he has started bleeding again and I'm really freaking out. I gave 1k to the vet even tho it's not my cat, he visits my house to eat but I'm attached to him. Times like this I feel I should have studied veterinary. I'm unemployed and I can't afford to pay so much. I don't know even after paying so much my poor cat is still in pain. I feel helpless.
Should’ve jus look online because I feel you! My cat cut her paw pad but couldn’t take her to the vet because I have no money. How did it go?
Isn't neosporin potentially life-threatening to use on cats because of the possibility of anaphylactic shock?
I was thinkin the same thing ...
Yes. That’s why the cat can’t lick it and she put the collar on. I went to the vet last weekend and I asked what I could do to help my cat until his next appointment, and she suggested neosporin, and said the cat cant lick it.
My cat also got a cut in her pad and i followed all the steps it was perfect but when i left my cat she shaked her paw and the whole bandage came out in a sock shape😭 i tried 3-5 times but she keeps doing the same thing 😔
This is exactly what I’m dealing with right now 😭🥺. I’m sos worried.
My cats claw is stuck out the pad and won’t retract back in, I took a look at it and it looked like a cut. Lately he has been kind of hoping around. I keep asking my dad if we can go to the vets but he says that my cat will be fine. I’m really worried
How is your cat doing now? My cat is having the same issue so I bought a cleaning solution for his wound but I am wondering if I should take him to the vet or just keep him inside a few days and keep his pad clean. The status of your cat and what you did to help would assist me in making the decision. Thanks
marcellothefellow surprisingly we didn’t go to the vet however I kept my cat in for a few days and regularly cleaned the paw. So far it’s looking much better! Though I’ve let him out today and if it does go back to how it was I’ll possibly have to take him to the vet! But cleaning it sure does work
Orix Jini I’m going through the same issue and is wondering is your cat okay now? And was just cleaning the paw daily all that is needed?
the same thing has happened to my cat
Thai happened to my kitten I am worried we don't have money to go to the vet can someone give me some tips what pain relief cream or gel can I use for my kitten and how many time should I clean he's paw? And with water or what do I use?
Have you ever had to watch a cat for more than 30 seconds after bandaging them this way? It falls off, within 20 minutes every time. I found this out after hours of rebandaging. I had to go to a different site to find out it had to go up higher on the leg.
Yes! You I figured it out myself, I had to wrap practically her whole leg just for a broken nail
this is extremely helpful but i dont have all of that stuff • _ •
I would not likely take my cat to a vet, especially if it's a stray, which I am now treating.
I wonder, what more would a vet do beyond cleaning, applying antibiotic and covering
that would be worth the cost?
Are you saying a vet is useless? That's the same thing as saying doctors are useless. Pets can have all sorts of injuries and sickness, you aren't qualified to treat anything besides simple injuries and they can still get badly infected. Take your pet to a vet, they need check-ups
@@rebecasunao Vets are useless majority of the time. I found a stray kitten and took it to a vet. The vet said that it was a male kitten and charged my a lot of money for just checking for general things. I kept the kitten until one day, it gave birth to 4 litters. I called the vet and said that my cat that I found a year and something ago that you told me was a male had just given birth to 4 litters. He laughed and said "oops, it turned out a female huh?" He had no idea about the difference between a male kitten and a female kitten (just like me). I'm also suspicious that he scammed me of money and he hasn't done any check up. They're useless in my experience.
Makes sense, but what do you do when the cat rips the collar AND bandage off? My cat has a a deep laceration in her paw pad. Long story short, got it sutured at the vet and my cat hates to be still so she partially tore it back open. Idk what else to do for my poor girl 😫
Did you find a solution ? I am dealing with the same issue with my siamese right now
LydiannaBella Yes, I just let the rest close up on it’s own and sprayed it with wound wash and made sure to check for any signs of infection. Took over a month to fully heal, but she was put on antibiotics and did just fine
@@ac4477hi i know this was commented 4 years ago, but how long was your cat on antibiotics? a similar thing happened to my cat 😔
@@dramaticvirghoe She was on them for roughly 5 days if I remember correctly:)
@@ac4477 thank you so much for replying 💜💜
My cats paw is hanging on by a tendon. I tried wrapping it but doesn’t seem to heal. What should I do?
Take it to the vet immediately???
Skyler Blount some people can’t afford it and vets probably aren’t open
Update? I think my cat has the same problem
@@michelecarrillo7670 Hi! Update please? My cat has a similar issue.
I wish this video wasn't an obvious simulation of an actual injury inspection...if the cat was actually injured and she used those tweezers things would go completely different
My cat had swollen back paw for 10 days, now he is walking on four legs again but one of his finger is strung up, not matching 3 other fingers (claws) 😥
I wonder what happened to him, he is outside cat ofcourse.
How is everything going now? I’m having the exact same issue with my kitten. I don’t know what happened
@@mmack00 Finger is still not matching 3 others but it is closer. I think it will heal pretty fine after couple months.
I think he torn a tendon
Nice... But please give details of the items used, in description!
Me too
I can't see anything in my cats paw pads or any bleeding or cuts but is suddenly limping and cries everytime I touch him
Update. He was fine after a day or two. I think he got stung by a wasp.
@@xxtkxxangelxxlol
my cats claw got ripped off on the “thumb” part. has anyone had this problem? ): i’m a first time cat owner and idk what to do
Cats don't have claws on their thumbs so do nothing, you have a normal cat
I have this problem rn. Which is why I’m here lol.
Same problem 😔
my cat got his toe ripped off.. what do i do for that ;-;
Some vets are so ridiculously expensive. Rony our cat got bitten in its paw vet says is $289. Just for blood test. Wtfk just for covid19 test or is it different "rona" i though he would stich him up done deal nope. I can't afford it so I'm going to try my best just to do it my self I've been giving him antibiotics that I pay and put some curcuma in the wound. After I clean it with salt water.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge dr.
🙏💖🙏
My cat just stepped on my hot stove.. what to do now he seems fine though
use aloe vera on the paws
i think my cat has a broken nail which has some bubbles and she dose not let us touch it
My cat is also having the same issue would u please tell me about ur cat
How's he doing now
This was very helpful .my cat got stepped on by a cow and one of the pads burst!!!!
pet md said not to use hydrogen peroxide, as there is chance it can cause tissue damage is this accurate? . if you look at the video by pet md the advise against alcohol as well
Andrew grimstead i think hydrogen peroxide can be use but it has to be right procent (%) can be used, i think if its stronger it can be bad to cat
Saline is the best solution to use.
Wait our vet said do not use Neosporin on our cat. So WTF?
They advise not using ANY Neosporin anymore
My Cat Got Into A Fight With My Other Cat
My cat nail hit his paw and now its bleeding :( i dont know what to do
Cut the curved nail. Then apply antiseptic soap. The diluted hydrogen peroxide, then neosporin. You will need to repeat twice a day

GUYS WHAT TO DO MY CAT HAS A SWOLLEN LEG AND ITS SKINNY PLZ tell me what to do
Radoj cina i know this is late but i had the same issuse. Just apply ice and make sure he or she doesn't walk around or apply pressure to that leg. And i defiantly recommend taking to the vet.
Reneé my cat got better now :D
This cats had a Valium in her breakfast prior to shooting this video
So what if I can’t afford the vet..... guess I’ll just have to let it heal
Yeah my cat takes the cone off and bites off the bandage. He keeps on scratching his nose until it bleeds. He's been doing this for a long time now and whenever I try to bandage it and put a cone on him as well, he uses his back legs to remove the cone off of him. It happens all the time and now I've given up :/
True Believers That sounds like it could be ringworm or another skin infection, fleas or mites actively irritating his nose. I’d go to the vet if it’s still going on, they may take a scrapping and look at it under the microscope to determine the cause.
@@Gigipretty64 Yes! We found out it was ringworm and now I'm ready worried because I've been touching the other pets that I have and I'm scared it could've been transferred to them as well but they show no sign and I've been touching them both for a long time.
True Believers I wouldn’t worry too much if they are showing no symptoms, some cats immune systems can fight it off more easily. If you’re really worried get an anti-fungal spray or wash and treat them topically once over. And clean their bedding, toys etc. at least if the others show symptoms you’ll know what you’re dealing with now. I use something like this C&G | Anti Fungal Dog Fresh Perfume Spray 250ml | Lasting Dogs Deodorising Grooming Cologne | Anti Fungal Spearmint Orange Chamomile Essential Oils Freshener | Unpleasant Smells Eliminator Perfumes www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H7NJPKX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_oE-zFb247ZKNP or Beaphar Anti-Ringworm Spray For Small Animals 50ml www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002GT8P9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_dF-zFbA76WR50
@@Gigipretty64 My cats been showing symptoms for a very very long time. You see, it's our first time figuring out our cat has got a ringworm and we didn't know where it came from. He's been scratching his nose even worse for a whole now and his whole face becomes bloody & his nose becomes swollen red. We did everything we could, like bandaging his arms or using every single cone we possibly could, but he's like an invincible cat and removes literally every single one of those cones. Even through all this, we still put a donut looking cone on him to keep him from scratching his face.
Yeah, he still takes it off but we keep put it back on & now we're taking him a sulfur bath 2 times a week.
Also, not only his paws but his paws even grew worse. He has bald, bloody spots on them. It's truly saddening bc he never used to look like this and he's in a bad condition. Were trying our best but who knows if it's gonna go away in 6 weeks and if he's going to cooperate. :(
Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS!
True Believers No worries. Try trimming his claws so they are blunt. Any pet safe anti fungal treatment should help your kitty. Good luck and I hope your cat gets better soon. :-)
Sorry, but no neosporin use triple antibiotic cream and no hydrogen proxide it can make the injury worse. Ask the vet for proper antibiotic and cleaning solutions
My cat would hate this! She loves dipping her paws in the water and licking them before she drinks. So, we would need to change the bandage _pretty_ often.
Just like my kitten.

I thought you were NOT supposed to use hydrogen peroxide as it will damage the tissue.
You are correct you can dilute hydrogen peroxide and then use
