Thank you for submitting your question regarding Munchies. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. If he has lost an entire digit, this is a serious problem. An open wound on the paw can easily become infected. The infection can spread to the remaining bones. He will likely need antibiotics, pain medication and possibly surgery depending on the extent of the wound. I hope this information helps!
