Cat got bitten on front right leg.

[Hobbyfarm15]

Hello, yesterday when I was doing chores I noticed our cat limping, so checked it out. His front right leg is pretty swollen, and he’s not using it. We cleaned it up with chlorhexidine and then soaked it in epsom salt warm water. I assumed he got in a fight when out hunting, because I found what looks like bite marks. I put blukote on it with a bandage last night, and pulled it off this evening. No noticeable change. It hurts him pretty bad when we touch it, and he’s hates the hydrogen peroxide. I’m wondering if anyone has any input. Could it be fractured? Broken? I’m worried about infection, but I’ve been keeping it clean. I also am glad I caught this when I did. He had been just fine the day before. Thanks

I’d see a vet. Cat bites are deep and tend to abscess.

Broken? Could be. Soft tissue sore? Absolutely. Infection coming? Possibility.

Weekend, of course!!! If not better in day or two, vet for sure. Prob x-rays, etc. $$$
