Firstly, a cat's paw and claws are extremely sensitive, so whatever you choose to do should be gentle to avoid scaring or harming the cat. The best solution for a cat's hangnail is to gently remove partially detached nails with clippers and clean the area daily. You may want to bandage the toe to help prevent infection. If infection sets in, see a vet immediately.

If a cat has ripped off a toenail, it is important to clean the foot with peroxide and then continue to keep the foot clean as it heals. If you notice swelling, redness, or bleeding, take your cat to the veterinarian.

Apply some Novisan, or some some of anti biotic, and wrap it with Co-flex or Vet wrap... but not too tight!

How long will hangnail infection last?

The hangnail infection will only get worse unless you do something positive to counteract it. In the first few days, the area around the hangnail will become very red and will feel very warm when you touch it. The quickest way to heal hangnail infection is to rinse the infected area in warm water with soap, and put pressure on it so blood (and sometimes puss) can be released from the wound. As soon as all the infected blood is released, the hangnail will begin to heal. Typical heal time 3-5 days.
