Cats are wired through evolution to conceal signs of injury or illness so they won’t appear vulnerable to other cats or potential predators. But there are ways cats show that they are in pain or discomfort. There are some hidden causes of pain in cats that you should be on the lookout for. One of these is ingrown nails.
There are instances when a cat’s claws curve and grow around and into the paw pad. It is a source of unnecessary pain and stress for your pet. The condition is more common among older cats with claw problems, but it can affects cats of any age, even with those with normal claws. To avoid this problem, regular nail trimming should be an important part of your pet’s grooming regimen. Be sure to introduce nail trimming as early as possible. It’s important for a cat to get used to having his paws held and his nails trimmed.
If your cat has ingrown nail, it is a good idea to have it checked by your vet Cy-Fair.
