How to Treat Cat Interdigital Inflammation

Cat interdigital inflammation is a relatively common disease that requires a reasonable treatment plan based on the actual situation of the cat. If the symptoms of cat interdigital inflammation are mild, you can choose to treat it at home.

The treatment process first requires completely shaving the hair around the wound to expose the affected area fully, thus avoiding further infection. Then, wash the affected area with a chlorhexidine solution, gently squeeze the wound to extract any dirt inside, and apply an external antibiotic ointment to the localized wound after cleaning. If the symptoms are more severe, it is recommended to seek veterinary care as soon as possible.

Here are some specific treatment plans for cat interdigital inflammation:

Examine the skin of the affected area to confirm the cause of the infection.
Clean and remove the hair around the inflamed area.
Clean the affected area daily with a disinfectant solution containing antibacterial ingredients, such as chlorhexidine solution.
Choose appropriate medication based on the examination results.

Note: During the treatment, the cat's feet should be wrapped, and the cat's activity range should be reduced. Additionally, keep the living environment clean, and fit the cat with an Elizabethan collar to prevent the cat from licking its paws. This will help the cat recover from interdigital inflammation more quickly and avoid further complications.
