hi everyone,
our vet is off right now and their office just had covid scare, so after emailing and not getting much reassurance, i turn to you.
our cat has one back claw that was very long and does not seem to retract. arguably i waited a bit longer than usual to trim their claw but all others are ok.
this one seem to have either solified gunk all around the base of the nail bed or very inflammed tissue.
i was able to trim said claw today but i am worried its infected. kitty is on heavy dose of attopica so I would rather triple check.
see attached pic. am i dreaming an inflammation? is this just debris that could maybe be losened with warm water?
someone suggested peroxide but i dont want to hurt her or use a product that could be toxic for her.
