Rescued a kitty.

Question
Recently rescued a kitten, live in small town and can't get to a vet for a couple of days. Seems exceptionally healthy, but noticed some inflamed spots on pads of paws one has led to no claw on one foot. Could this be a disease that requires me to drive 4 hours to an e.r. vet or can it wait the 2 days?

Answer
Hi Rebekah,

It is likely abrasion from running or walking on a hard surface... she should see a vet in acse it gets infected but it can wait a couple of days. Good luck with your new kitty!
