What if my dog has a cat claw stuck in them for months?
Anything stuck in the skin could cause an infection. Gently remove the claws, clean the area and apply an antibiotic until it is healed. If you cannot remove the claws yourself, take the dog to the vet. I'm guessing the claws are not still attached to a cat . . .
Is a cat claw bone?
A cat's claws are made out of the same material that human fingernails are made out of: Keratin. A cat's nails are constantly growing like a human's or a dog's, but grow in layers instead of length. Newly grown claws are covered by a protective outer layer that the cat removes by "sharpening" his claws. However, a cat's claw is firmly attached to first toe bone. This ensures that the claws cannot be pulled out during hunting, fighting or climbing. Tendons and special joints are what enable a cat's claws to retract and flex.
