Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 13 days old

My cat, Meowsie is very ill. She has cuts all over her body. She is not eating much, and her paw is almost dead. We are not able to take her to the vet because of coronavirus lockdown, and also vetenery hospitals are not open near me. What should I feed her and what can I do to help and cheer up her mood. ( I also attached pictures of her ). Please help me.

1. Get her some antibiotics: https://www.petsworld.in/corise-clivet-suspension-20-ml.html 2. Apply this salve to her wounds. It also has a fly repellent in it. If you don't do this, she will get maggots in the wounds. https://www.petsworld.in/himalaya-scavon-cream-50-gm.html 3. Feed her some high quality, high calorie food like kitten wet food: https://www.petsworld.in/royal-canin-kitten-instinctive-cat-food-1-2-kg.html 4. Keep her inside for at least one week so she can heal.
