I'm not sure how it happened, but I noticed around the 26th of December that my cat's paw was bleeding and he the nail was almost all gone. I figured that he must have got his nail stuck on something and it tore off when he tried to pull it away. About a week ago, I noticed the nail is gone completely and all of it is missing, just the flesh part is left. When it first happened, we could barely look at it since he was in so much pain if we tried to look at it. Now we are able to look at it, but he still tries to pull his paw away and makes a fuss so I think it might still hurt him a little. I'm really worried that it might not grow back. My husband thinks that he sees the nail growing back a little, but I don't think it is. I'm also worried because it's been a while since it happened and that spot is still very red and looks bad. We wanted to wait a while before taking him into the vet since we're not sure if there's anything they could do and I've heard that if he isn't showing pain while walking, then he should be fine. Me and my husband took a picture of his nail a few minutes ago so you guys could see what it looks like and if it is sever. I would appreciate any help and advice since I'm really worried about my baby.
