Ok so today I noticed my cat has a few nails missing on his back feet. Yesterday he had them and today he doesn't. He's using the litterbox, he's jumping, not showing absolutely any sign of discomfort until touched. Even I feel hurt when I see him jumping like that. But when I push his paw to get the claws out he retracts it, obviously feeling pain. Vet told me to wait it out but I am not sure what to do. What I see is swollen muscle tissue and I found some blood stain on the rug. I can't take a picture because it would cause him pain. I see absolutely no sign that a nail was even there. Just swollen muscle tissue. It's the same on 3 nails. 2 on the right paw, 1 on the left and they're his longest back claws so I believe it is not a disease, he got them stuck somewhere and atm I am looking for them around the house to make sure.
We do not trim his back nails. He lives indoors all the time. He's only been in 2 rooms since I last saw his nails were there. Because of how quickly it happened (within less than 24 hours) and the nails that got affected, I think he got injured and it is not a disease. However, I am not sure how to proceed next. Will the claws grow back? Anyone got experience with this?
