| Do you think he needs to go to the vet or will it heal on its own?

| Do you know what caused it to "fall off?" Was there a cut or a blister of some kind before?

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I'd take him to the vet in the morning. paw pads just don't fall off. it should probably be bandaged and he might need antibiotics.
