Hi,
I have a sick or injured cat here and I do not know what is best to do. She's not my cat. She just comes to visit me at my back door most days. She has what looks to be a wound on one of her back legs. Actually, I noticed that she had this a few weeks ago, but she seemed fine otherwise. But, today she's limping and I don't thing she can climb over the wall to make her way home, so, I decided to take care of her for now.
I am attaching three pictures that I took of her leg. I think that the third one might actually be the inside of her leg. I don't know whether she was fighting or if it is some sort of infection or parasite. I would really appreciate all of your opinions. I would take her to a vet, but she's not mine, so I don't know if it is ok to do that or not. Also, I'd prefer not to get on the wrong side of whichever neighbour owns her. She has a collar and up until a few weeks ago she had a medal with a phone number on it, but now that medal is gone, so I'm kind of wondering if her owner doesn't really care any more or not. I fed her tonight and she didn't eat enough to suggest that she isn't being fed.
She's sleeping on a pillow at the moment and I would leave her inside the house after I go to bed, only I'm not sure if she would panic or not if I left her alone. Also, I don't know what when she needs to use the toilet. I have noticed that she often goes in a rectangular shaped elongated gardening pot with compost that I have outside. Maybe if I brought that inside she would use that? Sorry about the length of this and the erratic way in which I wrote it. I'm tired and not really my best. Thanks for reading. Please tell me what you would do in my position.
P.S. It says that the board attachment limit has been reached, so I am going to try uploading them to tinypic.com and give you the URLs for those.
