Hey all--my cat Nyx is 5 y/o, 17lbs (working on it,) and has developed these pink lumps growing in next to her pawpads. There are two at the moment, one on either of her front paws, and her ankles are pink and calloused as well. The hair disappears from these spots and because she's dark, they're very noticeable. They look like they might be close to bleeding sometimes, with small spots of darker red--but they never actually bleed. They're firm and she doesn't mind me touching them. She also has a small cluster of lumps on the back of her back leg, and those seem to bother her when touched, though the fur is still there and she doesn't act abnormally about any of this.

Husb and I took her to a vet, the vet gave us antibiotics and told us it was probably the litter that irritated her paws, and then she gave herself an infection when she tried to sooth the irritation with licking. We did the antibiotics and the hair started to come back on the lumps but they're still there. The vet also said she would prefer to use steroids but Nyx is too big, so the nutrition person at their office was going to call and tell us how best to feed her, but that never happened and im stressed and worried about my girl.

She wakes us up every night crying for food and tearing our room apart to get us to wake up and feed her, the vet basically gave us pills and no real answers, and I dont know what else to do. I want desperately to have her healthy and happy and I don't know how. There's so much information out there that's conflicting about the paws and her weight and how and when to feed and what to do, it's confusing and nerve-wracking when she can't actually say whats wrong or how best to help her.

I know this post is all over the place, but I'm stressed and I hope someone out here can help me. Love you all, hope you and your critters are well ❤

Hi! I think a second opinion is in order (with a vet from an entirely different practice, to avoid colleague bias). Does she go outside at all? Sores from something she is walking on/rubbing her legs against outdoors - or even indoors? Did you just recently change litter and that could explain it? If not, the odds are it likely wouldn't be the litter, unless the product itself has changed.

Are you saying her crying at night is because you've started her on a diet and it is causing her to feel hungry? If you made sudden changes and reduced the food too fast, that could by why she seems hungry. A slow approach to weight loss is best - meaning that you should only reduce her food intake by no more than 10% at a time. It is a small enough amount that it would make it easier for her to get used to reduction. Ideally, you would weigh her once a week and see what effect a 10% reduction is making. After a couple of weeks, you can reduce the amount again, and repeat along with weigh ins so you can monitor her. She really shouldn't lose anymore than about 3-4 oz a week - no more than a pound a month. It may be slower than you would like, but it will work much better for her in the long run. You need to know how many calories she is taking in to begin with so you know how much to start reducing it by.

It's hard for me to tell from the pics but one possibility might be an inflammatory condition called Pododermatitis. Definitely get a second opinion preferably from a Veterinary Internal Medical Specialist if possible but another reputable vet would be acceptable.

Please keep us updated on her progress. Best of luck!

I do think we need the answers to the questions FeebysOwner FeebysOwner posed about changing litter before this started, and whether or not you have cut back on her food to try to get her to lose weight. We can definitey help you with the weight loss issue, and it IS a slow as you go process, believe me, as one of my boys was 15 pounds at his first year check-up and we were advised he needed to lose 4 pounds! We managed it, but only after stopping free feeding kibble to all four cats and converting everyone to wet food only, because we found that diet kibble simply didn't work for him.

Anyway, I would suggest you maybe go to a "natural" litter and see what happens. Any living thing can develop allergies all through their lives so it's possible even without a recent change that now her litter IS part of the problem and a change to something without any chemicals could be helpful. And you may need to put a cone on her to keep her from licking these places if she is doing harm to them. And, of course, that second opinion so you can get something medicinal to help her.

Hi! Sorry for the lack of replies, things got busy around here. Thank you for responding, the stuff about weight loss really helped! I never knew how much she should be losing a week, so I'm glad I finally have a solid number to go off of.

To answer your questions: she's a completely indoor cat. We live in an apartment with roommates and our room/ensuite is huge, so she lives exclusively in our "zone" of the place, which is completely carpeted aside from the ensuite's shower and toilet area (wood laminate.) She's walked on/lived on carpet for a few years now since we moved out of an apartment with all wood flooring--so no changes there at all in at least two years. We vaccuum regularly but haven't used any carpet cleaners or any chemicals, so that's reasonably out as a possible cause.

We use arm and hammer double duty, and have since we got her at 6 months old--she's never had any issues with it before, but the vet pushed for us to buy their litter because ours was "clearly the problem". The change did nothing and Nyx haaaaated the new stuff (we had to bathe her because it was so awful that she had litter and her own mess stuck to herself all over her tummy/nether area and I didn't want her to end up with a UTI or something, or having to clean that all off. She's back to the double duty now, because if a litter change didn't help I see no reason to buy the super expensive stuff from the vet.

The feeding thing has actually been a long-standing issue. She eats Fancy Feast classic pate, and gets 3 cans a day--it's been this way for two years or so now. Any less and she acts like she's genuinely starving all the time--we do half cans at 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm, and a full can at midnight. She STILL will wake us up with meows, walking all over us both, knocking things over and tearing up our desks, pulling things out of the garbage cans, etc. We've had to put literally EVERYTHING away in drawers and boxes before we sleep every night, because even leaving out my bottle of tums on the bedside table last night meant waking up to it falling on the floor.

We try ignoring her, praising quiet and doing the tongue click when she meows to break her focus (the tongue click is her 'stop and look' cue from me, I trained her to sit/stay/wait/come when she was a kitten.) Husb ends up giving in and giving her a half can sometimes--but we try not to because that's just reinforcing that she gets what she wants by terrorizing us at 3am. She shouldn't be hungry after a FULL can at midnight, 3 hours later--but she acts like she's starving almost all night, most of the time.

While I want her to lose weight and take care of her properly, I also know that any reduction will lead to her being absolutely awful at night, and it feels cruel to do that to her. She gets plenty of play time and exercise, but maybe she needs more?

I know she doesn't have diabetes or any thyroid issues, she's been checked because I've mentioned the food thing to a vet in the past when she was starting to get this bad and we did the tests to see if anything was internally wrong. She just....acts like she's starving all the time, to the point where I'm afraid she DOES need more, even if her weight clearly doesn't make it seem that way.

I agree 100% with that as a possibility. I'm gonna look for another vet in our area today--the one we went to just didn't sit well with me. Will keep you guys posted, thanks for the reply!

I just answered, so hopefully I gave some more info there that could be helpful. Thanks for your reply! I really do want her to lose weight, so any help I can get is wonderful--though I did have a few concerns in said reply that I'm struggling with. I also am not opposed to switching her food for something with more protein to keep her full longer--but researching what cat food to feed her is a NIGHTMARE and every other website suggests Blue Buffalo as a sponsored brand.

Your boy is lucky to have you!! I hope I can help my girl the same way you did with him--giving her the best life I can is all I want.

Do you have suggestions for natural litters? It's very true that she could have developed an allergy, and I'm willing to make a switch for sure.

The cone is a wonderful idea but I CANNOT keep one on her to save my life. No matter which one I try, she just...houdini's her little self free. Right after I got her spayed, she was out of the cone and playing like nothing had happened, and any attempt to re-cone her went...very badly. One of my friends suggested baby socks? Which...also sounds like hell on earth to implement, but at this point I'm worried enough to try anything. Maybe a cone and baby socks. And a swaddle. Just....wrap her up so by the time she's free of the swaddle she's too tired to worry about the socks and cone?

Being a cat owner is all about creativity and also trying to stop them from eating plastic.

Some natural cat litters are Feline Pine, Okocat, sWheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter, Yesterdays News. But it's not necessarily easy to change litters, as you have already discovered. These have a different consistency, at least the Okocat does. I bought some and my boys just sank down to their knees in it :lol:. I liked it because no dust and no tracking, but, of course, if they wouldn't use the litter box that had it in there, what good was it :dunno:?

As to a different kind of cone that will stay on, some people attach the cones to their regular collars, and that seems to work, but if she doesn't wear a collar, then that's just freak her out I suppose. There are different types of "cones" though. Some are like those airline neck pillows, but not sure if they would keep her away from her feet. And,yes, people have tried using baby sock, you just need to use coban at the top to keep them up. But she may bite through the sock if she's determined enough. (coban is the stuff they use after you get a blood test that they wrap around your arm and it stick to itself - you can buy it at a drugstore) And it's difficult to judge just how tight to make the coban, not too tight to cut off circulation, and obviously not too loose or it'll be off in no time.

As to her diet. Just how much does she need to lose? Has the Vet said? We haven't actually seen a picture of her entire body, just her feet. Some cats are naturally large, just like some people. Big boned. Is she really a fat cat, or just big boned? Three 3 oz cans per day doesn't seem like that much food for a 17 pound cat. That's roughly 300 calories. I computed that if you wanted her to get down to 15 pounds, that's the amount you would want to feed her (based on her being fairly inactive, which I'm just guessing at. ) . And what you are feeding is actually a good food for dieters. It's a low carb food, and that's what they need. Now, if you wanted to feed more meals, which I'm guess you don't, you could go with something with higher protein and even less carbs, but you would still need to feed about 300 calories per day. Do you give her any treats or anything else to eat? Has she slowly been gaining, or what is the story on her weight. It sounds like she is in a large suite, so I'm guessing she can't get too much exercise, but does she have a cat tree or anything where she can jump up and down, etc for exercise?

I'll definitely look into those litters! She's back to Arm and Hammer because it's within a decent budget for us and she doesn't seem to mind it for now--once I have her to a different vet I'll definitely see if switching her is within a recommendation from them too.

She doesn't wear a collar anymore--she has a history of skin issues that I completely forgot about until husb reminded me--at least once a year or so, she'll end up with itchy sores all over her back, near her ears, and at the base of her tail. A vet we saw said it didn't "seem like anything" and it went away shortly after, but husb mentioning it makes me think that maybe the new vet needs a write-up of her issues so I dont forget. It could be related!

Anyway, the cone thing--i found one of the pillows that might work and it's coming soon so hopefully it helps!!

The vet has said they'd like her around 11 to 12 lbs--she's definitely bigger than she should be. I'll get a photo in a second and add it so you can see :)

The story is that my dad watched her while I traveled a lot in the first two years of her life and he free-fed her dry food, so she ended up at 22lbs by the time I got back and could take her back. I've been trying to get her weight down without damaging her health, but the vet just goes "feed her less", which...isn't helpful. I really like her on 3 cans a day--she was on dry, then I switched her to wet, and she slowly dropped down to 18, then 15, then 14, and now she's somehow back to 17.

The suite is fair large enough for her, she has a huge cat tree but she never touches it, and we have toys all over for her that we try to engage with--but I think for sure that we could be more hands on with getting her more activity. She gets no treats, but had a few of the fancy feast creamy broth things a few weeks back. That's been it--i really want to get her healthy, and I know treats will just sort of derail that because she begs like mad and we give in too easily.

I'm on mobile so if I missed anything I'm sorry!

Hi 0wsydruid !

Going back to the top of the page, I also suspect there's an 'inflammatory' issue - a type of autoimmune response - involved, and I understand how/why that Vet was reluctant to use the standard steroidal treatment, considering her weight. One wouldn't want to trigger Diabetes.

The gradual weight loss and then the spike is a mystery - you did mention "roommates" ?..........is it possible one of them is (even perhaps unwittingly) sabotaging all your efforts....? Or, visiting friends of the roomies? (The FF plain patés are quite effective, as you saw, and the go-to's.) Perhaps a house meeting is in order....?

If you're not completely comfortable or confident with this Vet, see if there's a cat-only clinic/practice (not "cat-friendly") nearby. You can also use this searcher - in the "Practice Type" drop-down menu, select "Feline Only" and do not check the gray-boxed "Cat Friendly".

That's Part One..........Part Two is to book an appointment with one of the senior (longest practicing) Vets there (often an owner) - leave the sweet young no-nothings for someone else!

And, keep us posted !

OMG, she look just like my Darko, who also has issues with his weight. He has been "dieting" his entire life, poor guy.

I, too, am wondering how she went from losing weight to suddenly gaining, if nothing in her diet changed. I think white shadow white shadow has some good points there. If it's not possible that anyone is giving her anything other than those three cans of FF pate, and that's been her diet since she started losing, then gaining, did you discuss that with your Vet? OR, has the amount of exercise she is getting decreased enough to cause the weight gain? Have you tried putting catnip on her cat tree? Do you have a D' Bird? My cat's can't resist it. It's like a bird is flying around in the house. I try to make it land up high on things so the boys have to jump up high to get a good workout. If you can, put her cat tree in front of a window so she has something to look at. I also spread birdseed outside of our windows on a regular basis to give them something to look at. Toys are great if they play with them, but don't do much good if they are just laying around. Mine aren't really into stuffed mice or anything like that. They need interactive toys that move around. So that means they either need me to be moving them or they need a battery operated thing that moves something. I recently bought this item and it keeps my guys interested for awhile. Every time I bring it out, they both come running! There are several items out there similar to this:

SmartyKat Hot Pursuit Electronic Concealed Motion Cat Toy, Blue - Chewy.com

Hope the new "pillow" cone works!

Hey! I understand why she was hesitant too--luckily we have an update that lead to some good news and a diagnoses that we can handle. The roommates, we discovered after talking it over with them, had been treating her with whipped cream! A cat is not supposed to have dairy and I am very cross with them.

I'll have a look at that searcher, and see what I can find. Thank you so much!! I have an update on her health that I'll post in a few minutes. <3

Sometimes I see cats that look just like her and I show her on my phone like "look! your twin!! one of um. several thousand by now!"

The roommates were giving her whipped cream. They've been told explicitly not to do that again, and I'll be monitoring how she eats from here on out. I have an update about her general health that I'll be posting in a second, but I wanted to reply individually to those that have helped me here. The vet says as long as we make sure she gets 300 calories a day and we get some more engaging toys, we should start to see weight loss, albeit slow--which is exactly what we want. We didn't end up needing the pillow cone because we think with absolute reasonable evidence that she's allergic to something in FF. So for now, the pillow is lying in wait in our closet, lol.

Thanks for the reply, hope you and yours are all well! <3

An update on Nyx: she has pancreatitis. The vet felt like she could go home for the night (on the night that I posted that we had to take her in,) if we monitored her, and we did--woke up every hour on the hour to check on her--and brought her back the next morning. Blood workup, urine test, and chest palp found nothing, so they did an abdominal ultrasound. Her pancreas is angry and her GI tract is slightly thickened. They told us it was mild to moderate, and it had been happening for bare minimum a month and a half before she started to show serious signs.

Our roommates had been treating her with whipped cream to get her to like them, and rest assured, that has been stopped. Aside that, we believe that FF is the culprit, which I'll explain below.

She's on gabapentin, an appetite stim that we rub into her ears, and an anti-nausea med. She's been so much better! I still panic really bad when she sleeps a lot or isn't as active as she was when she first got home--but my husband was quick to remind me that she's on gabapentin, which he takes for his restless leg syndrome at night, and he almost falls down sometimes if he wakes up before it's worn off. Imagine what it's doing to her tiny body! She's home, stoned out of her mind, and we've discovered she hates Fancy Feast.
The vet addressed the paws thing too, they're confident that it's a derm issue and they're gonna send us some cat dermatologists in the area to follow up.

Strangely--when I started giving her FF, she started slowly developing skin issues, and because of us traveling with her (Canada to USA) and being busy, we never noticed until it wouldn't have been obvious that it was the food. She refused to eat FF the night we brought her home before treatment, and when we got her to lick the gravy off of it, she threw it up. Didn't throw up the dry food she managed to eat! Today too, we mixed some in with the Hill's digestive stuff the vet gave us a few cans of--on it's own, she eats the Hill's quick, but with the FF, she left some behind.

So, back to Iams Perfect Portions! It's low-fat enough that the vet likes it for her, and we just gave her some, which she ate all of right away. She's laying on her back in my husband's arms like a baby, falling asleep while he rubs her newly shaven tummy.

I'm so happy I could cry. Her paws and skin, since even a few DAYS with less FF, have started getting miles better.

That was a most excellent piece of news to wake up to today !

So happy for you all!

Now........you absolutely have to, you MUST continue with updates! (and, you have a beautiful writing style that just envelops the reader)

Yes, this is great news. You had us a little scared on Tuesday :frown:. Hoping the Pancreatitis gets resolved quickly. I'm actually thinking that whipped cream is the culprit there. High fats aren't good for pancreatitis, and whipped cream is pretty high fat! Poor baby.
