Mama fell off of our ledge upstairs and fell about 10-15 feet down to the floor. She landed on her feet and everything seemed fine. I checked her paws and legs to see if anything was tender and nothing bothered her. Then today I was clipping her nails and noticed that one of them is completely split in half all the way up to her paw. There's a little blood caked around the nail but other than that it doesn't seem tender or anything. Has anyone had anything similar happen before? Should I take her into the vet to have them look at it or just let it regrow and see what happens?

I would clean it if she'll let you and keep an eye on it, but otherwise leave it be until it grows out on its own.
