Vino's got a sore claw
I noticed it yesterday when I was brushing his teeth. I figured I'd check
to see if he needs another claw trim while I was doing "cat maintenance". He's such a good boy, he lets me do all that stuff without too much protest. So I noticed that his pinky claw on his left front paw was all split and there was a bit of blood. It looks like the claw material just got really brittle and split lengthwise, exposing the quick but still attached at the root. He doesn't seem like he's in pain, he's walking, running, scratching his sisal posts, all like usual. I don't know what could have happened, maybe he got the claw stuck on something when I wasn't home and pulled too hard? Or was it just a defective claw? I trim his claws every few weeks and so I get a good look at what's normal and what's not. I'm always very careful to only trim the tips and Vino's claws are very translucent so I know I never cut too much off. I've never seen anything like this before. Any ideas on what I should do? I cleaned it all up, but other than that I've done nothing. I guess it will just take some time for it to grow out. I hope that when it grows out it grown in good and strong. Poor Vino :-( -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

My cats have done that before. If it does hurt him, maybe you can put some antibacterial spray then one "soft paw" on that claw until it grows out. Poor Vino. He is so lucky to have such a great mommy. |

I'm going into Pattaya today for shopping. I'll definitely get the antibacterial spray. But I won't be able to do the soft paw because they don't have stuff like that here in Thailand. I'll just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get infected. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
