Welcome to Health care magic . Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern for your friend.

I am afraid I treat human beings . I cannot help you much about cats. Let me try to help you .


From my primary ideas , I can tell you that most cases of swelling will be due to infection, either from an overgrown toenail or from a bite or other puncture wound. Other events like a broken bone, or a rubber band or something similar wrapped around the foot or toe, could cause the foot to swell.


Once you notice a swollen foot or toe, examine it (if you can do so safely) for foreign objects, wounds, or overgrown nails. If you can safely remove any foreign object or wash a wound, do so.


I would suggest you to take him/her to a veterinarian immediately.


Have a nice day. Regards.
