A swollen paw after a suspected sting suggests a reaction to an insect bite (e.g., bee or wasp). While many stings cause localized swelling and pain, some pets can have more severe allergic reactions. Monitor your cat closely for signs of a more generalized reaction such as difficulty breathing, excessive drooling, or vomiting. You can apply a cold compress to the swollen area. If the swelling is severe, or if you observe any other concerning systemic signs, seek veterinary attention. Otherwise, speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
