Does this look like a bite?

I noticed my cat limping a little this morning. His left hind foot is swollen a bit and he grumbles when I touch it. Does it look like a bite? I'll take him to the vet to get it checked out tomorrow.

Yes it does, I would take him to the vet, our cat needed painkillers and a dose of antibiotics.

It does look like a bite to me. Do you have any painkillers for cats in the house - Loxicom or similar? The vet will probably give him antibiotics. Hope he's OK.

Update: vet said it is a bite and has given him a shot of long-acting antibiotic and said just to keep an eye on it. I was hoping the cat would have to wear a cone of shame but unfortunately not! He's now back home and begging for dreamies Grin

That's good news. He deserves all the dreamies he can get his sore little paw onGrin
