Cats paw

Question
My cat got in a fight with another cat, and after the fight he left all day. He finally came home and when he did i noticed he was limping on his right front paw. I took a look at it and i saw a tiny rock where it looks like it was stuck between the paw's skin. I took it out with tweezers and put some neosporin on it. What else can i do to help it heal? Is it a serious problem/injury?

Answer
Jessica- Can you get him to soak the paw in some hydrogen peroxide ???  Peroxide and some water ... pop the paw in and manipulate the rocks or sand .... ( manipulate means to work or rub the area)

If he continues to limp he may need an antibiotic from the Vet.

Good Luck
