Torn Toenail in Cats

I noticed a really dry nail bed on my cats left front paw but it is only one (he won’t let me see his back ones though) and it is where the thumb would be. He also lost hair right in his ear crease and it is turning a crusty white, could these two be connected, but how can I treat his paw because it seems uncomfortable.

My cat is limping on his right front paw. Sore to the touch but no blood. Checked the nail bed and it's pink in colour no sign of any infection. Have cleaned it with salted water, but he's reluctant for me to do any thing else as not happy when held, meow's when held.

My polydactyly cat has a small split between her extra toe.
Should I just watch it to make sure it does not show signs of infection? What should I do?
I tried putting polysporin on but she wants to just lick it off.

I just recently got my kitten, and his dew claw are raw and bleeding. He’s a ball of energy and loves to play. I read this might be because of the carpet. How do I treat it ?

I think my cat, Kosto, tore or broke one of his nails. I hadn’t trimmed them in a little while because we were moving across the country. When we finally settled down in our new home, I noticed a few paw prints of blood around the house. When I checked, his paw was bleeding. I haven’t been able to get a good look at it because it’s tender to touch.

I think my cat has torn her nail. The quick looks red but she wont allow me to get a good look at it. There is blood om a toy she was playing with but i initially assumed it was her baby teeth.

My mom cut my cat’s nail too short, so it went into the quick. But she didn’t cut it all the way through. I called my vet but she said to leave it alone, which I did but the little bit of nail got worse and worse. It’s been 2-3 days now, signs of more bleeding then stopping. I cut the little bit of nail that was just pushed out, and now the bottom of the nail feels like a loose tooth, but I’m not sure if it’s the quick or if it’s just blood. He won’t let me touch it, and he screams, but he doesn’t limp AT ALL, and he runs and jumps fine. What should I do.

My cat is outdoorsy and last night she came home limping in one paw. She has improved significantly overnight, but she's still limping from time to time. She let me have a close look at the paw (she's a very good girl) and I saw that one of her claws is slightly bloody and swollen. I saw no signs of infection and the claw looks okay to me, it's just the cuticle that seems to be damaged. I want to treat her at home as much as I can because going to the vet's stresses her out incredibly and she seems to be on the mend already. Should I do anything to the claw even though it looks healthy? I intend to clean the wound and bandage her paw if she lets me, but as she doesn't lick it any more than regular cleaning I don't want to push it.

Hi my cat came in last night he was limping on his right front paw finally got to look at it this morning and it looks like his nail or the bed around his nail is really really dry is there anything I can do about it

My kitten hurt her claw and it seems to be getting infected, how expensive is it to have that taken care of? Or is there anything I can do at home to help it at least until i get paid in a week and a half?

My cat has torn a claw completely out and its infected. Can't get to vet til tomorrow. I have some enrofloxacin. Will this help? I've cleaned all the dried blood and pieces of his claw out. As soon as I cleared all the debris out, a nasty smell was evident.

Our cat smashed his foot between two slats in the fence. His leg isn’t swollen, He wasn’t there long—a neighbor was outside. But he is bleeding from two of his back middle toe nails. He is bearing weight. He’s letting us hold him—although he did bite when we helped him out of the fence—out fear/pain we assume. Currently, we’ve used a warm wet washcloth to see what’s up as he is black and fuzzy. The nails are still there; tips are gone, all the way up to the quick. The question is: Vet or no vet? Is this an emergency? And we put a dollop of neosporin on it, it’s covered and he’s still right now, as we’re waiting for the bleeding to stop. Do we keep it covered? How long? And his out door shenanigans are on hold, correct?

Hi. I looked at my cats claws in the back. One side all the nails are very short, almost in the quick, if not already. I think its from him climb in our fences. On the other paw, there is one really long nail that looks like it's about to fall out. It is pulled sideways, and defiantly painful because when I tried to trim it he freaks out. I usually don't look at the back nails, but I guess I should be. Should i see a vet about the nail coming out?

We let our cat be outdoors occasionally and tonight he came in limping. After taking a look at his paw, it seems he tore his nail. There wasn't much blood and whatever bleeding there was, stopped before he came inside. It looks like it's torn up on the bottom side of the nail. So far no infection and the limp is minimal. We put hydrogen peroxide on the toe and gave him some leftover amoxicillin from his last visit to the vet (2 weeks ago). Should we just watch and wait or do something more?

I couldn't find a place to post my follow up questions.

Follow up questions: I see that it says to trim the toenail at the tear to avoid infection. Our cats tear is at the base of the nail so we would have to cut the whole nail off. Is it safe to cut off the whole thing? And how long should we expect him to have a limp before being concerned? Thanks!

My cat was stuck in a yard with high concrete walls for about 20h, and when I finally got her out her back paw nails were completely destroyed but not bleeding thankfully (probably from trying to get out), she doesn’t have a limp, but they’re shredded to bits.. Front paw nails are not as bad. Just kinda worried and I don’t have money right now to go to a local vet.. Will she be okay?
