Cat Claw Ripped Out
my sisters rabbit did the exact same thing and we took it to the vet, a
bandage was applied to keep it clean and she was given anti biotics, I take it your little fur ball will prob need the same. would be sore id say, breaking a nail to the quick and hitting it off something is sore enough never mind having to walk around on it lol "-L." wrote in message ups.com...

Cat Claw Ripped Out
Is there anything that can be done for a cat that has ripped out one of his
front claws? That happened to my cat and I didn't notice it until it started to smell, which of course indicated infection. I took him to the vet and he was going to declaw that toe but I told him just to clean it up. The bandage lasted about two hours before kitty was able to get it off, but during the next few days I watched it closely and cleaned it a couple times a day with Betadine. It healed up fine, a new claw grew out, and there is no sign of the injury. |

I really didn't want to do that, and just as with your cat, the toe healed fine and the new claw that grew out looks perfectly normal. I'd never rush into declawing if it can be avoided, even if it's just one toe. -yngver |
