One of my kitties has a sprained front paw :(

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I think she jumped off the bed and landed funny. Sucks cuz she is still a feral cat I'm trying to domesticate but she still wants to flee outside at the first thing that spooks her. I keep a way out open for her all the time just in case but its 30 out and she's hurt so I'm keeping her locked in atm. I'm hoping she won't try to get out and hurt herself even more.

The net just advises keeping her movement restricted. I'd call my vet but figured she say the same

if possible or at least call. The GNC calming treats seem to work ok on my cats and they gobble them right up when offered.

My Maltese had a ligament issue this summer. It's a lot harder to keep a semi Feral cats off of it than my little spaz.
