Subject: Toe/claw infection?
My 3 yr old male, Rascal, has all of a sudden gotten some sort of
infection in his toes. Well, I'm assuming infection. I don't really
know, I've never seen this. His claws have white spots on them (like if
you've ever banged your fingernail and it "bruised" white) Also, his
cuticles look pushed back, as if you could just pull his claw right off.
Two of his toes are oozy and very painful. He is walking gingerly on the
one foot and cries if I try to touch his toes.
Is there anything I can put on it? Or should I just treat with
antibiotics? I haven't changed their litter or food, or anything. This
sort of appeared over night, last Wednesday or Thursday.
Thanks for any thoughts
Cynthia, Rascal and Funk
