Injured paw, is the toe bone broken?Hi everyone,

My outdoor cat came home with a shattered claw; there are fragments sticking out all over the place. I've had a closer look and I can see what looks like blood or pus, I'm not really sure. I suspect he might have fractured his toe bone, what do you think?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi there, What you're describing could be linked to a fracture of the last bone in the toe or a torn claw with an infection, but it's impossible to confirm this without an examination. In any case, it warrants a quick trip to the vet, especially if your cat is limping, licking the area a lot, or seems to be in pain. It would be best to keep him indoors until you can see your vet, who will be able to check for a fracture and advise you on the best course of treatment. Have a good day, Maëlla
