Well, they say things happen for a reason. An infected paw wouldn't help
anything heal. Glad you found it. I have a cat who has that happen all the
time. He is semi feral, and the vet has to clip his hails. He is diabetic,
and i don't mess with that. Give her extra loves...as if I had to tell you to
do that!!!
