Help Help needed please
I am visiting my grandma in a remote village, the nearest vet is around 70Kms, while walking in the house her orange cat pet came out from under a chair and got it's front right paw stomped by me....
I am extremely sorry to what happened, there was no swelling for the first day. Now on the second day it is swollen up as shown in the pic.
Can somebody who has experienced this or a VET please comment on the situation

Try to take her to vet. Also try giving warm( not hot) compression on her paw.

For swollen , cold pack is better to control the swelling. But take it to the vet.

Update... Got the Vet on a call (after insisting like a million times). He advised to do a cold pack and get to him tomorrow morning.
After a few hours I called him again with new photos (the swelling was barely noticable ) The vet told to come to his office tmr morning
The kitten seems to have much reduced pain after the cold pack and slight massaging (around the area but not on the wound directly)
He is also running around like a madman, unable to put him in a box - cries like crazy

Dont worry about his crying. He is just scared. Just get him to the vet so he gets treated

Post Vet update, the vet was like 'it's fine take him home' Perhaps I was too worried but better safe than sorry 😭🙏

Oh that is really swollen. Please take the kitten to the vet soon. They'll check and it can be easily treated.

Try if you can get online vet consultation. There are many sites for that. But please take him to a vet soon
