This all started on 10/15 with scabs in her ears and on the edge of her pads. Took her to the vet and they gave her an antibiotic shot. Almost 3 weeks later and another antibiotic shot and blood work (that came back normal) her poor little pads look like this. Has ANYONE ever seen this before? is it allergies? Please help!

Looks like it could be pododermatitis. If your vet has no experience treating this, seek out another vet.
I completely agree. :agree: It does look like pillow foot.

Here is another article and several threads with a similar description to yours:

Little Gray may need another vet trip. Super swollen paw pad.
Pillow Paw caused by Fresh Step litter?

BTW, welcome to TCS! :wave3: Best of luck, please keep us posted on your cat's progress.:alright:

Is your litter scented or colored? I find my cats paw pads get irritated by scented litter. Def return to the vet, in the mean time clean the paws with iodine and buy vetericyn gel/spray and wipe the paws with this
Is your cat limping?
