A few weeks ago, I noticed Lucy's front paws carpal pads were looking very hard and dry, kind of dead, so I wriggled them but if didn't bother her except the usual "Don't touch my paws!".
I was going to bring it up during the next vet appointment, but I didn't worry about them much.
Yesterday, I found this on the sofa after she jumped on it.
At first I didn't know what it was, thought spilled food or something, so I threw it away.
An hour later, it bothered me that I felt like I had seen it somewhere, so I fished it out of the garbage bin, and looked closer.
You can imagine how shocked I was when I realized where I had seen it ..... on Lucy's front paw!!!! :shock:
I quickly checked her paws, expecting to see one of them missing a carpal pad and maybe even bloody, but both were intact and no blood.
One of them looked dry and dead, and the other one looked pinker and softer and much smaller........
I was really really surprised! :o :o :o
Is it normal for them to sort of shed old carpal pad skins, and new one growing inside???

Lucy is feeling good.
She ate her first breakfast by herself.
Nice AMPS number too!

Hope everyone's having a nice Monday!!!!
 
Re: 7/22 Lucy AMPS=117 // CARPAL PAD

Lucy is doing her best snake impression.?

I haven't experienced that but maybe it's like a nail injury for us.... the old one falls off while a new one grows underneath.

Does Lucy go outdoors? I don't know if it's been as hot in Vancouver as it's been elsewhere. There have been warnings about being careful with pets and not letting them walk on hard surfaces because they were scorching their paw pads.

Pretty blues for Lucy today. :-D

Interesting on the carpal pad - now I'm going to have to take a look at Neko's feet. The weather office was saying we are going to break records for no rain soon (25 days and counting), although the 24C (mid 70's) is a nice temperature. Our cats are probably not used to this dryness.

Nice blues for Lucy today. I'm glad she's still eating good. That's strange about the carpal pad.

I have no idea about the carpal pad...but I'm glad Lucy is OK!! She had a nice surf this morning...I hope she's carried it throughout the day!
 
Re: 7/22 Lucy AMPS=117;+2.25=104;+4=110 // CARPAL PAD

Hi Mariko,
My GA kitty, Stu, used to shed his paw pads regularly. The old, black ones would fall off and there would be new, pink ones. I don't think it had anything to do with the weather or the surfaces he walked on. It just happened. I always thought it was "normal". I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Have a good evening. Don't bother to wait up for Lucy. These parties are all-night affairs!

Ella & Rusty
 
Re: 7/22 Lucy PMPS=130

Thank you all for your visit and comment about carpal pad.
I was getting a little worried until I read Ella's post about Stu......
I'm glad Lucy is not the only pad shedder.....

And Sienne, Lucy never goes outside.
I don't know how long the pad had been like that before it fell off yesterday.
Her other pad looks dead too....
It must be uncomfortable to have a hard pad, so I hope the other one will fall off soon too.

The kitchen renovation.... they only did the floor today.
They just put an ugly linoleum floor on top of the old ugly linoleum floor, so I don't feel like it "improved", but at least it's "new".
They will install the dishwasher and new cabinet doors later this week, and hopefully finish the project.
I just don't like these people coming in to do the job because it makes Lucy nervous.

Lucy's first ever party tonight.
Hope she'll get alone with everyone else :-D
 
Re: 7/22 Lucy PMPS=130;+2=83

Lucy is back in green, but it's kind of a big drop......
Maybe because of the no pred today....
She is starting the new prednisolone schedule of 1/2 tablet every other day.
 
Re: 7/22 Lucy PMPS=130;+2=83;+3=86

Today's keywork is "paw".
She just had a major poopy paw incident. :shock:
Gave her a paw bath.
She is looking very upset.
