Cats Foot Pad Swelling
Question
What causes my cat’s foot pads to swell up and bleed? He doesn’t have any cuts.
Answer
A cat’s feet can swell for many reasons, from walking across hot asphalt, to trauma from climbing fences in a hurry. Sometimes things like allergic reactions to bugs, medications, etc. can also cause swelling. I would get her examined by a veterinarian because some of these problems need medications to get better.
