We've got a bit of a mystery at our house. We've got 2 (of 5) cats who have lost a claw. Ophelia hid hers very well, being a former feral, and we didn't see that she had the injury until it is already mostly healed - pink and healthy skin, no sign of infection or even soreness to the touch.
Mojo, on the other hand, we found fairly soon after the fact (we think). Very sore to the touch, but still no sign of infection. We're going to keep a VERY close eye on it and get her to the vet at the first sign of anything wrong.
The only thing that has changed is the formula by the pet food company. They completely changed the packaging, size and formula for the Hairball food, which we need because of Trent and Ginger. Could that change affect the strength of the nail bed?
We're thinking we need to switch foods (again, since we noticed that the formula had changed so we did the gradual switch with that), and would appreciate moderately priced but good quality hairball food suggestions.
Thank you!
