In this video, we cover: • What plasma cell pododermatitis actually is • Common clinical signs • How it’s diagnosed • The link to immune dysfunction and possible viral associations • Treatment options • Long-term prognosis and recurrence risk While pillow foot can look dramatic, many cases respond well to medical management — especially when caught early. If you’ve noticed changes in your cat’s paw pads, don’t ignore them. Early evaluation can prevent complications like ulceration, secondary infection, and discomfort.
