My newborn kitten cut its paw all the way around the foot off it’s cage. We have been trying to keep it clean and putting antibiotic ointments on it but it has tripled in size and I am so so worried. What could I do ? The kitten itself is very healthy and seems to be growing well.

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Simba. Wow that paw is quite swollen and I'm concerned about infection. This can no longer be treated at home and is now a medical emergency. He has to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
