HEALING YOUR PETS AT HOME

A number of years ago I find this little stray black and white cat that either adopted me or visa versa. Of course for no particular reason I name him Max. Well it turns out Max is a dog in cat's clothing. I lived on 40 acres at the time and that little cat would follow me around like a little puppy.

One day we got back to the house and the little fellow's paw is all swollen. Oh man, another pet health problem. What I use to do was get all frantic and head of to the vet but by this time I had discovered Veterinary Secrets Revealed by Dr. Andrew Jones. So I pull out my copy and look up cat health swollen paw. This is what I discovered.

I picked up Max and felt her paw. She didn't seem to have much pain. She said it was a bit uncomfortable but didn't hurt that much. That made me feel better. I knew not to give her aspirin or Tylenol. Cats in general are very sensitive to these types of painkillers and Tylenol even in a very small does can kill them. But because there didn't seem to be much pain I wasn't even tempted to go down that road.

So what about that swelling of the soft tissue on the paw? I discovered that lots of things can cause the swelling. Insect bites are a big one. Both cats and dogs seem to be prone to insect bits; dogs on their mouths from snapping at the insect, cats on their paws from swatting. Bees will get them good and although there is the initial sting and quick swelling there doesn't tend to be a lot of residual pain. Good place to start with Max. A lot of swelling seemed to indicate an allergic reaction, as long as there isn't the onset of infection the swelling should go down again rather quickly, 24 hours or so. Perhaps a wait and see strategy should be used.

We didn't live in an area that had scorpions so I felt alright there but spiders and other insects of course were plentiful. The lack of pain seemed to indicate that it wasn't one of these. More pain would've put us down a different road - probably the road to the vet.

I also checked out her paw for a possible puncture or other trauma that could have caused the swelling. The lack of pain seemed to indicate otherwise but I gave her a quick look over - nothing. If there had been I would at least be on the phone with my vet to alert him what had happened.

In the end Max and I decided to wait and see in this case. We served up a light snack, curled up on the couch and took a nap. The next day the swelling was almost gone and Max and I took off to do some work in the barn. Another medical emergency averted.

I was grateful to have a copy of Dr. Jones' book to guide me rather than having to go to the vet initially and would highly recommend a copy to both dog and pet owners. It is a small investment that can save you thousands over time. He offers a free book that is a must for sure. You can get more information here: Veterinary Secrets Revealed
