So last Wednesday my neighbor brought me over a baby kitten.
At the moment, we can't tell if it is a he or a she but because I have a feeling it is a girl I will use she. The kitten was found inside the wheel well of a car downtown, and was rescued by a fireman. The fireman gave her to a bystander who took her over to his parents (my neighbors). Since my neighbors are elderly people who have never had a kitty before, she was on a steady diet of mortadella and cows milk for a few days. :lol3:
Now, as soon as I got baby kitty I booked an appt with my vet. I made an appt on Thursday morning and all they could give me was Monday at 2:30, which was okay. Then my appt got moved to Wednesday (tmmrw) at 2:30.
I noticed these sores on kitty's paws. The backpaws look like burns, and the skin is raw. One of her front paws is this dirty brown color (I've tried washing it off, didn't work) and the dirty brown skin is beginning to peel off. On one of the smaller toes of this paw, there is what seems to be a blood blister. The other front paw is pink and fine.
Now, kitty is eating, pooping, peeing, playing, and drinking. Perfectly healthy. No limping at all. I think it might be burns from being inside the wheel well of the car.
I really don't think it's an emergency since they don't seem to bother her, I'm just a worried meowmy.
Some pictures below:

These aren't very good pictures, they don't show the sores really.
Just wanted some TCS insight. :nod:
