How long will it take for my cat's paw wound to grow new skin?

Yes, it is a good sign that Nandu is slowly using his wounded paw to walk! For minor wounds, it take three weeks for the tissue to regrow, but with deeper wounds, it will take longer than that. If there are complications, such as infection, that will delay the healing process further.

ALthough stitching is the fastest way to heal wounds (5-7days) as it helps sealing of the edges together in the correct alignment, most small flesh wounds such as this will heal over 3-4weeks if kept clean and infection is avoided. You must monitor closely for any heat, swelling or pain which may indicate infection requiring further treatment

Hi there. I'm afraid it depends on how severe the wounds are, and whether they're infected or not. If Thadiyan has injured his paw, I would definitely recommend taking him to the vet for an exam. He/she can prescribe antibiotics to help prevent infection and should be able to give you a better idea of how long it will take to heal depending on how it looks.

I would recommend for your kitty to see the veterinarian. Infections tend to heal significantly faster and with less complications with antibiotics. You also will need to make sure he does not lick at the wound as this will make it worse. Have him wear an Elizabethan collar at all times and keep him indoors until it is healed. Typical healing is expected to take 10 to 14 days in most circumstances. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Yes the wound looks quite healthy and this is likely to be granulated tissue. Unfortunately this is a pressure point so the healing is definitively slower. Antibiotics are needed to prevent any infection.

Hello. Wounds like this can indeed take a long time to heal, but everything looks pretty good. You have been doing a great job. This could still be stitched, but it will eventually heal if you keep it clean, medicated & bandaged. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

That would is bad enough that it requires veterinary care in person, especially if it is painful and has been there for weeks. Your vet can examine, clean it, and prescribe medication for pain and antibiotics for infection to help it heal.
