And by ripped off, I mean ripped off, as in there is no nail now, just a bloody pink stump of whatever is beneath the nail. I have absolutely no clue how he did it. I came home to find blood all over my couch and Ma'ii limping badly. Upon examining him, I found that and nearly got sick. I've seen all kinds of injuries, but this one made me cringe. All I could think of was a stick being broken in half, and the remaining shards at the end of that stick where it was broken - that's what Ma'ii's nail looked like.
It was late when I discovered this, so I stopped the bleeding, cleaned it, and wrapped it, then called the vet first this this morning. We dropped him off before work and returned later to pick him up. He was sedated, weak, and very unhappy about the "boot" he has to wear for a week, but atleast he's going to be okay.
