He is limping, I just noticed this morning and I’m not sure what happened. He is an outside cat and goes in the woods often


I'm sorry to hear that your cat is limping. From the image you provided, it seems there might be a wound or injury on her paw. Let's go through a few steps you can take to help her:
Firstly, try to inspect her paw closely. Look for any foreign objects, such as thorns or splinters, that might be causing discomfort. If you do find something, you can gently attempt to remove it with tweezers.
Next, it's important to clean the area using a mild antiseptic solution. This will help in preventing any potential infection.
Keep an eye out for signs of infection, which include swelling, redness, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian promptly.
To prevent further injury, try to keep her indoors and limit her activity as much as possible.
If she appears to be in pain, please avoid administering human medications. Instead, consult your veterinarian for advice on appropriate pain relief options.
Since she often goes outside, it's possible she might have encountered something sharp or had a minor accident. If her limping continues or worsens, or if you notice any signs of infection, please make sure to visit a veterinarian for a thorough examination.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
