How to stop my cat's paw from bleeding again after the scab came off?

Question

REPOST WITH PHOTOS: My cat’s paw pad started to bleed 2 wks ago. I took her to the vet, who didn’t see any foreign objects in the paw & gave her an antibiotic shot. Last week she had an FHO & was also given an antibiotic shot. She’s confined to a small room but managed to knock the scab off her paw. I can stop the bleeding but it gets easily irritated & bleeds again. Currently have a sock on her foot and she’s in a cage. What else can I do? (*photos from 2 wks ago, don’t want to remove sock). Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 4 months old | 8.9 lbs

I suggest you try this wound spray and keep the foot covered with a sock. If it doesn't heal (which it should easily if it is just a wound) you will need to take her back to the vet.

Hope this helps.!
