Sweet Pea burnt her paws

OMG, does it never friggen end. Last night Sweet Pea jumped up on the wood stove while it was on, burnt the bottom of her feet and wrenched her leg jumping down :sad: She can put some weight on it, but limping pretty bad.

Does anybody know what pain reliever besides metacam is safe for cats (I know the vet is going to want to give her some)?

Buprenex is a good one. It can either be injected or syringed slowly into her cheek jowl (is absorbed sublingually).

If you'd rather not go the chemical route, homeopathic arnica works quite well for pain. To help prevent infection (for her feetsies), colloidal silver has excellent anti-bacterial properties. Aloe Vera gel (not preserved with sodium benzoate) is soothing.

Oh no... ouch... poor little SweetPea! I hope she heals quickly, and isn't in too much pain. I think Traumeel is supposed to help with healing and pain too.

Aww poor Sweet Pea I guess she was just looking for a warm spot to curl up & didn't know it was that hot. (When my sister was little, she put her hands ontop of my uncle's wood stove.ouch.)

I can vouch for Arnica, this was used for Duffy after her dental extractions & she never showed any signs of pain I can also vouch for Chamomilla being used for pain relief.

for speedy healing
