Java's left paw has a strange looking claw thing... looks like the pad has sorta 'split' at the base where the claw retracts. it's dirty looking & feels slightly warm... i'll be calling the vet in the morning, but figured she could use some of those powerful 'healing' TCS & in the meantime!

Furrari tore a claw like that once. His bled all over the place. I cleaned it several times a day and kept an eye on it. It healed up fine though it was always split.

This is one reason to keep a cat's claws trimmed so that they do not catch on something and tear when the cat struggles to get loose.

A trip to the vet is always a good thing and I'm not suggesting you treat it yourself. If Furrari's toe had looked the least bit inflamed we would have been at the vet's in a flash.

for Java.
