Yes, it looks like Starr's paw is infected and she BADLY needs a nail trim. Is the claw growing into the pad? I recommend to have Starr examined by the veterinarian to address the nails and the toe. Make sure to prevent her from licking the toe by having her wear an elizabethan collar at all times. Have her examined tomorrow. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
