Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 17 lbs
My cat got this cut on his foot about 2 weeks ago. The scab just seems to be big and strange. He doesnt seem to have extreme pain with it. He will let me touch it without yelping. He doesnt want me to grab is foot but I think that's him being him. Is it healing well?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If the digit is not painful, swollen or hot to touch, it means that the wound is not infected. From the pictures you posted the healing process looks good. Please, keep an eye on Nibbbler for the next few days. The scab should fall off soon. Once the scab is off please, send us another question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with the pictures of his foot.
