Cat Ingrown Nail Infection. After examining your cat's nails, a veterinarian should be able to tell you the cause of the toenail infection. My cat has an extra toe and had an ingrown toenail that wrapped around and split the skin between her big toe and the first toe and may have got infected.
I found it on a sunday afternoon, freaked out and called the vet. It commonly creates a gaping wound prime for infection. Your vet will clip the hair around the affected nail and trim all the other nails.

Specks of blood may be visible on the paw. It seems to be the month of the toe! I would definitely find another vet. Soak the affected foot in warm water mixed with a few tablespoons of betadine solution or epsom salt.
