Meet Trevon


I've been wanting to go through and update all the stories not posted, but that just means I keep not posting current ones.

So, meet Trevon.  He suffers from Plasma Cell Pododermatitis, A.K.A. PillowFoot.

Poor bloody paw prints a all over my room.




I saw a post on FaceBook that his guardian was looking for help with his vetting, as his condition was yet undiagnosed at that point.

There are dozens if not hundreds of sick cats and calls for help everyday just in our area, and we can't save them all, but something about this guy him really called to me, so I had arrangements made for his release into my care.

I had him checked by a vet tech, as it would be a few days more before the vet could see him.  She was worried about autoimmune disorders, as PillowFoot is often caused by that.  Fortunately, he tested We soak his pads in Betadine a couple times a day, is on a good dose of steroids for inflammation and got a long acting antibiotic shot.  He also needs special litter to not continue to irritate his feet while they heal.


He's a total sweetheart and deserves to live as normal a life as possible, although his condition may be lifelong recurring.
