Hello there! I understand your concern about your cat’s claw, and I'm here to help. Cats’ claws can occasionally have issues, so it's good that you're keeping an eye on them.
If your kitty's claw looks cracked, you might be seeing a natural shedding process or an overgrown claw, which can sometimes happen if they don't use scratching posts regularly. However, if there's bleeding, swelling, or any signs of infection like pus, redness, or a foul smell, it might be time to dig a little deeper.
At home, you can gently inspect the claw. Make sure your cat is comfortable, and try to clean any debris with a soft, damp cloth. Keep an eye out for limping or excessive licking of the area—these behaviors can indicate discomfort.
Watch for warning signs like a claw growing into the paw pad or any sudden changes in activity levels. These could point to a more serious issue like an infection or injury.
If you notice any of these signs, or if you're ever in doubt, it's always best to consult with a vet for a deeper look. We can help you assess if any treatments or adjustments are necessary for your furry friend’s comfort and health.
Feel free to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet anytime, and we’ll be happy to guide you through this concern. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
