Hi! My cat has previously broken her nails on our carpet as they grow very quick. I do trim them regularly, and those nails have now healed. However, a couple of weeks ago she was startled and it resulted in her taking her nails out as a defense and puffing up her fur. I noticed one paw was weird, and when I checked, it was a nail that had gotten stuck and began to drip blood. I quickly helped stop the blood with some powder. It’s been a while since then, I’ve been cleaning the wound with something I got from Petco. Now that it’s finally clean and I can see my cats nail, i’m confused because her nail never fell out and I wonder what caused the bleeding. I took some pictures, and I notice that her “quick”, which is a blood supply where you normally stop cutting the cats nails so it won’t bleed, is gone and the nail is like hollow. What should I do? I was thinking to cut the nail off and let it heal better.
Also sorry about my nail and the color chipping off.
