I'm calling the vet for an appointment tomorrow. Mickey was limping and it looks like he either got something in his foot pad or a claw grew too long and broke off in it. But he's really good about using the scratching post and keeping his claws trimmed down. He never goes outside so I don't know what it could be. My husband's aunt came over and we tried to get it with tweezers but we couldn't. It's kinda scabbed over. We didn't try too hard cuz we didn't want to cause him too much pain.
I feel like I should have noticed it earlier, but you know how cats are. They instinctively hide pain because in the wild, if they appear weak, they die.
He wasn't scratching but he was squirming and trying to get away while we were checking him out.
We have a little money set aside that we were going to use for the fair, but I can't let Mickey hurt just so we can have a night of fun.
Anyway, since I can't call the vet until tomorrow morning, does anyone know what it could be?
Not the best pictures cuz he was pretty annoyed.
