Default Cat Claw Ripped Out



Take him to the vet. He may need to be put on an antibiotic f to
guard against infection and if to badly injured it might need to be
wrapped to keep out dirt and such like when it uses litter box.

Please take him to the vet. It is probably infected. How would you
feel if you ripped out a finger nail?



Is there anything that can be done for a cat that has ripped out one of his
front claws?

My cat seems to have ripped out one of the claws on his front left paw.
Until last night he had seemed fine even after this happened. He wasn't
limping, was still very playful, and still continued to jump up onto things
just like normal. Then last night he jumped up into the chair next to me one
time and immediately began to cry like he was in pain. Now he has a
noticeable limp, and while he still wants to play and run around I can tell
that it is bothering him.

Is there anything to be done besides take him to the vet?
