Will a cat’s flesh pads heal on their own if they are cut?

Whether a cat's flesh pad will heal on its own after being cut depends on the degree of damage. Slightly broken skin can heal on its own, but you should also pay attention to applying some iodophor to the wound for disinfection and sterilization to avoid wound infection and inflammation.

When the cat's pad is broken, be careful to limit its movement and don't let it walk around. Every time it walks, it will not only make it difficult for the wound to heal itself, but also easily cause the wound to suppurate due to bacteria on the ground. If the cat's pads are severely damaged, such as the wound area is large or deep, the amount of bleeding is large, and the possibility of self-healing is low, it is recommended to take the cat to a doctor for wound treatment.

Generally, it can be restored within 5-7 days. The specific recovery time is related to the cat’s amount of exercise and recovery function. The cat's pads will be in constant contact with the ground, which is not conducive to recovery. In this case, it is recommended to restrict the cat's movement, such as locking the cat; at the same time, we also need to do good wound care, such as keeping the wound clean and dry, and using wound spray every day. If the infection is severe, oral anti-inflammatory and antiseptic medications may also be needed.
