Hi there! I’m sorry to hear about your kitty’s sticky situation. Cats sure have a way of getting themselves into trouble, don’t they? Let’s see how we can help her out.
Resin can be quite tricky to deal with because it hardens quickly. First, try soaking her paw in lukewarm, soapy water for a few minutes to soften the resin. Be gentle as you do this. You can then attempt to remove the softened resin by gently massaging and pulling it away from her fur and skin. Scissors aren’t recommended as they can cause injury if she moves suddenly.
Keep an eye out for any signs of irritation, such as redness or swelling, as these might indicate that the resin has hurt her skin. Monitor her for limping, continued licking, or signs of discomfort, which could suggest something more serious.
If you notice these symptoms or if the resin hardens again, impeding her movement, it’s a good idea to consult with a vet. A professional can safely remove the resin and check for any underlying skin damage.
For more guidance, feel free to book a video consultation with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We’re here to provide the support you need and ensure your furry friend’s paw is back to normal in no time!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
