What the fuck do I do /b? My cat has a would on his paw and I do not know where it came from or how to treat it, his "toe" looks broken and idk if you see it on the pic but the claw is exposed and bended. He is limping and in pain. Got no money to take him to the vet. Help me /b, how the fuck do I help my cat?

>pic related, its my cats paw

go to fucking vet you retarded mongol,
also is that a fucking bone sticking out?

>>690603316
You always have money to take your pets to the vet, you'll skimp on food for the next month. Go!

please take him to the vet he must be in a lot of pain
maybe ask for donations or some shit if you really can't afford it?

go to emergency vet...

Fucking vet now! That will only get worse if not treated, could cause perm limb, and maybe even worse...
Don't do this to him, maybe ask your parents for a bit of cash?

I'd you don't have the money to take a pet to the vet, you shouldn't have a fucking pet.
Also, Google "humane society".

if you absolutely can't go to the vet, soak it in warm very salty water a few times a day, and keep antimicrobial gel (neosporin) on it. You'll probably have to apply pressure after soaking it to squeeze the infection out
>>
>>690603481
>this
Sorry, OP, but this looks like a job for a vet. Tough shit if you don't have the money for it -- if you don't, that shit will get infected and your cat could succumb to sepsis or suffer chronic pain and/or disease. V E T, F A G G O T.
>>
>>690603316
>My cat
You have a responsibility to that animal. Go to the vet, even if you can't eat well for a month.

If you are genuinely that poor (yet you have camera and interwebs) look up a local animal shelter or cat charity like PDSA

Offer to suck dick then, or call around for loans. The vet won't exactly tell you to fuck off if you can't pay, just go already and figure it out later.

let your cat take care of it, cats have antibiotics in their saliva, your cat will be fine, ofcourse it probably doesn't feel good for the cat but it will be fine, dont soak or do anything let the cat lick it, it can take care of itself

Cats are pretty good at reading to their own wounds, my ex's cat got attacked by a coyote and its whole hind leg was torn open. It just laid there for about a week, cleaning the wound and eating a lot of food and after the week he started walking again with a limp, after 3 weeks it was completely healed.

Just make sure to feed it and give it water as much as ya can

>>690604236
kek'd

unless he lets his cat purely consume antibacterial substances i dont think this is the case
>>
>>690604236
This. Is just a sore from climbing trees with rough bark. Or landing on something sharp. My cat does this at least once every couple of years. Just try to keep catter inside as much as you can while it's healing.

Medfag here. The wound is pretty deep. This need medical attention asap or your cat risk to loose his paw.
This is probably too late for simple stiches (more than 4 hours) he'll probably need some antibiotics and some 1st line surgery.

yeah because cats in the wild never succumb to nasty infections and die from them,why don't you stab yourself in the hand with a dirty knife and wiggle it until the flesh is exposed and see how well saliva works for that. the antibiotic in animal saliva is there to protect from scratches and small cuts in mouth, a ctual flesh penetration like in OP's and on the foot is a guaranteed infection whicch gives the cat 50% survival chance, why do uneducated ppl try to give advice on important things? OP vet you nigger and talk to him about your financial situation, monthly payments are a thing and if ur lucky the vet will do it for free.

The Vet can give you instructions on what you can do at home. And if it's just a toe it's not a death sentence. Just keep it clean and it will form a scab on it's own. Perhaps the vet can make a cheap splint though.
>>
>>690605091
Take it to the vet you goddamn idiot. Work out a payment plan. Bum cash from friends, family, or tender hearted strangers on the sidewalk if you have to. Alternately, let your fucking cat die because you can't afford to keep a pet.

clean it with hydrogen peroxide and then rinse with clean water
then make up some warm water with epsom salt in it and soak the affected foot in it. use a blow dryer on low heat to dry his foot afterwards.
repeat this process for a few days, until he stops babying his bum foot
>>
>>690606357
I won't kill my cat.

Clean the wound, use a triple antibiotic ointment (bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate, polymyxin b sulfate), then wrap with coband.

Keep the cat off their paws, provide food and water. Change the dressings ever three days, and when dirty.

Life never changes, huh? Just dump the pet when things start to get rocky.

I have NEVER had a Vet that took payments. NEVER! Cash up front always.

Fuck you guys.

OP - listen to the helpful posts here.
Maybe look at a creditable forum for cat care for a better answer.
Good luck.
>>
>>690606556
stupid asspost. You never antiseptise a dirty wound.
Water comes always 1st.
>>
>>690605947
For real, if you go to the vet and explain the financial situation they will ALWAYS help you out because the problem isn't really that bad and you're gonna get charged like it is.

However if you're lying about the reason you can and it's something else, buy some antibiotic spray from a pet store and spray that on it. It doesn't look that bad, as long as it's kept clean.
>>
Why do you own a pet if you don't have money to even take him to the vet? Do you even buy food?

Take it to the vet or
Take it toe and yank it gentle. (Like you'd reset your own finger I've done it before to myself I IMAGINE you could do the same to it no clue)
Clean and wash his wound and cover it.
Avoid his/her paw from touching the kitty litter box.
Wash and if need be if it gets infected badly to the point where he may die put him down.
>>
go to the vet you cheap piece of shit
the cat will probably be fine if you dont go but it's still best to see a vet if you care enough
otherwise just put yourself out of misery you attention whore

>>690606556
Good advice, but I warn you the cat will fight back. Hydrogen Peroxide burns a bit. Be careful and good luck, nigger.
>>
>>690606556
>clean it with hydrogen peroxide

Do not do this. Hydrogen peroxide slows healing, and even kills healthy tissue (along with germs) do what >>690606648 said.
>>
Also, OP, look into pet insurance. It's cheap as fuck.
>>
>>690603316
Vet here.

OP, Looks like the claw is broken off and is projecting into the paw. Thats going to need some debriding and cleaning.
You probs need to visit a vet ASAP. Cat is going to be in a lot of pain if you leave it.
Phone the vets and ask them if they have anything they can do for you - charity cases, petaid, ask your neighbours etc.
Clean the paw with dilute antiseptic solution just now or salt solution- that looks like it WILL be infected. Its going to need antibiotics also. Sorry mate, going to have some expense here.

Never said it does not disinfect, it does slow healing though. Then again I work in humans, black market side to make it worse so my knowledge is limited. We stopped using it due to the issue of it making wounds heal slower, OP wants to self treat cat, slowing the healing just to disinfect would probably be a bad idea if that is the case.

You can use superglue, but the common superglue is not sterile, so unless you want to seal in an infection, do not. Also stop simplifying the steps. Make sure to clean the wound before even touching the idea of bandaging.

Listen closely OP

Step 1

Locate the cat. Lock eyes with the mother fucker to let him know some shit is about to go down and that you mean fucking business.

Step 2

Approach the cat in a violent and intimidating manner and swiftly grab it by the back of its neck and start yelling IM YOUR FUCKING OWNER BITCH LISTEN TO ME

Step 3

Smash the cats head on the wall to stun him and subdue the animal so it wont attack while you perform your treatment

Step 4

We'll commence treatment now since the cat has been pacified. First you need to jack off onto the wound and rub the semen thoroughly into the wound

Step 5

Begin biting off the infected area of the foot and start slapping cats face at the same time

step 6

Cats good as new
>>
>>690603316
First thing first. CLEAN THE FUCKING WOUND.
Second, while cleaning it any pus or really nasty smell?
Third, is it a deep gash?
If no to both then cat will be fine, if yes to either go to the vet.
