Hello Branden, your cat needs to be seen by a Vet. Whatever the bite was its now swollen and no doubt infected.
He needs Veterinary treatment to get the swelling and infection under control and heal.
I hope he recovers soon.

Branden Johns Thank you, I was really hoping for some home remedies though. My family and I just moved to a different state and we dont really have the funds to take him to see a vet right now unfortunately.

julie brader There really are no home remedies unfortunately. He probably needs antibiotics only available from a Vet.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Likely if your vet prescribed it he/she has considered the side effects of long term use and decided that your dog needs the medication. This is really something u should talk to your vet about.

Today She Was Running Through Bush Chasing Squirrels

when We Called Her She Came Running Towards…
today she was running through bush chasing squirrels
when we called her she came running towards us “lop-sided”; looked as if hind left leg wasn’t working
it was not any kind of limp I’ve seen before; the leg didn’t look being favored but looked not working, not providing the right support properly
Cookie sat down while we were going to try to see what’s going on
meanwhile she heard another squirrel and dashed off back into the bush again
looked like the leg wasn’t quite right but she didn’t seem to care
we then fetched and leashed her and after short time everything seemed fine until the time of this writing 4:19PM
often problems resurface after some rest so I’m concerned what she’s going to look like after longer rest; so far she seems perfectly normal again, though
Seeing a vet tomorrow but hoping for some comforting thoughts on what the heck it could have been … ?

Jana Post author She seems perfectly normal and herself now. Moving and acting normally, looking normal and happy. Lasted just a few minutes. Didn’t seem upset about it this time, just came up close and sat down. I was way more upset about it that she was.

Diedra Cardamone Hello Erica,
It isn’t good to have cold like symptoms for so long – it is unlikely to go away on its own. I strongly recommend seeing a vet as soon as possible just to be sure to help him get better and not severely worse all of a sudden.

Erica Campbell Thanks, I’m taking him in tomorrow.
Hello, I Have A Year Old Large Puppy And He Has Developed A Limp From…
Hello, I have a year old large puppy and he has developed a limp from one of his back legs. I have read everything online about different causes and I have done a thorough examination of his leg. There seems to be nothing out of place, no swelling and he continues to run and play (he sure doesn’t seem depressed) and he doesn’t show any signs of pain at all….what could be the problem? The only thing I can even relate to what’s happening is that it might be pano, but I want to confirm before we change his diet. There is also no sort of thorns, cracks, or cuts except a small cut in between the left side of his toes and it’s not worth taking him to the vet for a small cut about 3 cm.

Diedra Cardamone Hi Brittany,
Pets, just like people, have different tolerance levels for pain. The fact that he is limping indicates something is definitely not right. How long has the limping been going on? It is sometimes difficult to know if something is a small or a large problem without going to the vet. Finding an answer is definitely worth it :). I hope he gets better as I can tell you care about him very much!

Brittany Mullens He’s only been limping for about 3 days, it seems like the limping has gotten a little better since the first day. He has broken his front toe before and was showing a lot of symptoms of pain (of course we took care of it) but that’s what I’ve been basing his pain tolerance on remembering how bad he was hurting before and he’s pretty much normal except for the limp.

Brittany Mullens UPDATE: took him to the vet today, for the past couple days before our appointment we’ve had him on bed rest and that helped alot. The limping got less severe and it seemed like he could put more weight down on that leg. The vet had said it could be a partailly torn ligament in his knee from the exam. X-rays at the beginning of next month and he’s currently on some doggy pain killers and inflammation drugs and two weeks bed rest! But he’s walking on it even better with the drugs even after one dose.

are you absolutely sure this isn’t a medical issue? when was his last checkup at the vet?
In my experience, that usually means one of two things. I have a very ‘neat’ cat. If the litter isn’t totally clean, he would register his complaint by pooping just in front of the box as if to say, “I refuse to use an unclean box!”
I have also seen cats who are in multiple cat, or cat and dog homes to feel ‘trapped’ in their box and very nervous about using it. In that situation, I moved the box to a more open area, and made sure the cat had an area where the dogs couldn’t reach him. Once he had an area all his own, and he felt safe using the box, the problem disappeared, but as you know, each cat has their own temperament, and their own personality, so your cat could simply be driving you nuts because it wants to!
Cats however, are very clean animals, and once given a ‘better choice,’ will often take that choice, good luck!
He was at the vet not more than a month ago, we had him desexed at that time and he had a full check up! He’s been doing it since before the vet as well. Asking the vet, they only suggested the things we’ve tried. Moving the boxes, Urine off, different litters, different placement :C he doesnt like minty smells or lavender so we put that scent on the places he likes to go.
No UTI’s or any unusual stresses for him…
Hes such a lovely cat otherwise, very loving and playful
Thanks for all the help guys!
Ill keep trying :c I hope its nothing serious. We’ve scheduled another vet appointment and Ill try changing his diet! I just assumed the food was good because he loved it!
Ill let everyone know how it goes 🙂
