Cats need to sleep for 16-20 hours a day, but in just a few hours of awakening, they often cause some damage and even cause some trauma to themselves. All shovelers will occasionally find that the cat's claws are swollen. What's wrong with the cat's claws? What to do if the cat's paws are swollen? Let’s take a look at the reasons for the cat’s claws.

1. Trauma infection

If the cat is not treated in time, and the cat constantly licks the wound, it will cause wound infection, which will make the claws abnormally swollen. It is recommended that the owner carefully check whether there are any wounds or foreign objects on the cat's paws. If there is, it is necessary to remove the foreign objects first, then clean and disinfect the wound, and then apply some drugs that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and promote wound healing.

2. Suffering from skin diseases

If a cat's feet suffer from skin diseases such as ringworm, the cat will frequently lick its feet due to itching. Over time, it may cause inflammation of the cat's feet, resulting in swelling. Because fungi on the paws can easily spread to other parts of the body, it is necessary to wear a neck ring for the cat to avoid scratching the body, and then take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

3. After the cat's paws are bitten by bees and other mosquitoes, it will cause local congestion and edema. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner pay attention to whether there are any bite marks on the cat's paws, especially whether there are bees' tail stings on the skin. If a bee's tail sting is found, the owner needs to use tweezers to remove the bee needle in time and apply iodine to disinfect. If the owner cannot remove the bee needle or the cat has symptoms such as swelling of the skin, rash, dizziness, fever, and rapid breathing, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for treatment, and promptly perform anti-allergic treatment and remove toxins from the affected area.
