Our Veterinarian immobilized the paw and placed the cat on an steroid and antibiotic for 10 days. After 3 weeks there has not been a change. The paw looks and feels normal except no motion of claws or muscles below the wrist joint. The injury occurred approximately 3 weeks ago. I appreciate any advise that you may be able to offer.
Nerve injuries are among the slowest to repair.
I would not give up for six to eight months, and maybe longer if there is any sign of improvement. You can help the process by moving the foot back and forth in normal motions several times daily. While you are watching TV or sitting with your cat move the foot back and forth to increase circulation and retrain the nerve pathways.
