It sounds like your pet may need sutures if the injury is bad. Unfortunately, that will mean a visit to the vet. Leaving it untreated can cause a number of issues, not to mention the pain your pet may be in. If left untreated, it can become infected. Bad infections can take over and cause horrible problems, worse-case scenario it can infect the adjoining toe or even the whole foot. Problems that may cost you $300 to fix now can skyrocket to hundreds more when you wait and let it fester into a bigger problem.

Many clinics now offer Care Credit as a payment option... something to think about if you don't have the finances to pay for it now but are able to make monthly payments.
