What do I do if my nail has a crack?

My cat's toe nail has a giant crack in it, what do i do?

  • it's a horizontal crack. if it broke off it would take 3/4ths of his nail off and expose the flesh. should i go to the vet? if it breaks off accidentally, i don't want him to be in pain or have the nail get infected.

  • Answer:

    If you normally trim his nails then just cut it as short as you can & keep an eye on it. If you are not used to trimming his nails then, yes, the vet should have a look at it. While you are there ask them to teach you to trim his nails. Once you know how it's really easy to do.
