Hi there,

I think the best thing to do is talk to the vet right away. You don't
want that infection to continue up the foot. Does the vet know there is
new swelling?

I've never had a cat with a toe infection, but have had a rabbit with
that problem. We narrowly avoided amputation. One thing the vet told me
was to replace the litter in the litter box with shredded newspaper and
clean it often. He did not want any chance of little granules getting
into the wound.

Is your cat on antibiotics? I think that might be prudent.

Good luck getting ahold of your vet tomorrow,

Rhonda

Sheesh... go back to the vet.
