How Did My Kitty Lose Her Toenail? 🤔

Over a week ago, Bella injured her toe. Her human checked on it, and it didn't look too bad, so it was left to heal on its on... The injured toe was dipped in a cap of H3O3 daily to disinfect. After three days, Bella still had a pronounced limp, which seemed quite odd. A minor injury like that should be getting better and better each day. Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of malodor, and the nail was a bit long. Opting to cut the nail to get a better look at the toe, the entire nail came out in the nail clipper. Then the toe bled and bled some more. Pressure was applied, and more H3O3 was used to clean the wound.
Since the nail was removed, I am happy to announce that the toe is healing nicely. Bella is jumping, climbing, hunting, and doing all the things. She is a trouper for sure! New nail should fully emerge in two to three months. #catbehavior #bellathekitten #mallorythecat #catvideo

    Poor Bella! You are a good cat mom! I hope it grows back..seems it was not only the outer husk...that is bad and surely painful. She came to you even though it hurt when you checked on the snagged nail. Her meow was really pitiful.

    @@mallorycatgallery I think so, too. We had an old tomcat that our male cat brought in.-hunting buddies or such and he lost his home,so our cat brought him to us, I guess. He had some very big abscesses. After you drained it, the smell got better and he became healthy again. It was definitely the right decision to get the nail out.

    Hi professional groomer/vet tech . Kittys can lose a nail by getting it caught in something. Usually when they are gripping onto to something very tight. I hope your kitty toe feels better.if its split trimming the nail would give her some comfort. Hope this helps.🐾🙏
