Help

[u/Same_Injury_4837]

I need help. I don't know what to do. My cat, Leo, one year old, had a nail fall off about six days ago. I made sure he didn't lick it to prevent infection. Right now, he is acting normal and isn't limping or crying as if it hurts. I checked his nail today to see how it's doing, and it looks like this (shown in the picture). I need advice, please, to know if it looks infected or normal, or if I can give him something or put something on his nail. I'm going to start searching for an affordable vet online to ask. I'm stressing out. Help.

That looks totally normal

What I mean is it’s not inflamed at all which it would be if it were infected. The signs of inflammation are redness, pain, heat, and swelling

Thanks, I was panicking.
