My male cat's right back inside claw keeps detaching from the bed. It first happened about 2 months ago and it came completely off. The only way I found out about it is because I found a trail of bloody paw prints. It's now grown back and has detached from the bed again, BUT is still attached at the top and is no longer positioned over the bed( I'm only calling it the bed cause I know no other term, but its the part that where the blood flows). It bled a little bit, but now I don't know what to do? I can touch it with out him crying and sometimes hissing in pain. The nail is clearly and strongy attached at the top to where you just can't pull it off. Its also starting to scab over and imbed into the skin near it. I don't know what to do please help!

Hi there...some felines have problems with brittle nails and as everyone else noted already it is best to have it examined by a vet. They may will be best at diagnosing and treating it since there could be many reasons as to why it is occuring. I hope your kitty recovers soon.

Poor Kitty, Take him to the vet man! He obviously have some kind of fungus and needs medical care.

Take him to the vet right away...if you don't then it could happen again and he could lose alot of blood or he could get an infection from the open wound.

take your cat to a vet, the vet will be able to figure why the nail is falling off, and cut off the hanging nail safely.

For the tenth time. You need to have a vet examine it.
