I saw our cat licking his paw alot do I checked on it and when I saw it, there was a portion of his paw missing, the nail seems to be completely off and he is slightly limping, we disinfected it with savlon and cotton wool. Has anyone experienced this with one of their cats? Will it be fine if I can only take him to the vet on Thursday?

Can you send a photo to your vet. Is it bleeding or infected. Is he an outdoor cat?
It's not bleeding which leaves me to believe it happened a few hours ago, he does roam a bit especially at night but most of the time he is inside.
As for the photos I don't think the vet gives out there personal cell number sadly...

Most get practices have email addresses, give them a call and ask for their email address and send a photo of both sides of the paw marked for the attention of the vet you are seeing on Thursday. In the meantime, don't let him outside and try to make sure it's kept clean. If he seems to be in pain, give the vet a call.
