Answer #1

I would advise taking it to the vet but if it costs too much then idk. Good luck.

Answer #2

You need to get the swelling down…. maybe ice. Then use pliers and cutters to remove the barb and then back out the hook afterward. Antibiotic gel would be nice but the cat my lick at the stuff. (Use the pliers to hold the barb as you cut so it doesn’t fly out and cause more damage should it go into the kitty’s mouth. Steady and quickly remove the hook while keeping the lip as taught as possible to aid in removing it.
