Hi there. My cat - Arthur, 9 month - looks like he’s got a weird claw deformity happening...? its only affecting one claw right now, but it looks like the nail itself isn't growing. its really short compared to all of his other nails and it keeps cracking up and splitting. I know its sometimes normal for cats nails to split when shedding, but this nail sheds on all sides and its looks like you can see some blood vessels under it... a couple months ago I noticed his nails were shedding on his front paws and one of the nails cracked to the point where you could see his blood vessels, but that healed in less than a month. His rear paw has been having this problem for months now and its only that one nail! I dont cut their rear paw nails but ill trim a little bit off of their front paws once a month or two. Arthur is an outside cat, and he’s out probably 6 hours throughout the day and overnight im not too sure how long. I don't know if this is something natural and normal for cats or if I need to take him to the vet. I researched a bit online but im finding mixed opinions and different cases. I just made this account yesterday and its my first time making a post like this on any forum so I hope I gave all the information needed. Thanks!
