if its limping already it may have broken the seal around the nail so if you want a speedy fix your better off going to the vets

put muzzle on it and cut it right down or you will have problems with the nail,

it will squeal though and will have blood but will dry up put iodine spray on,

or is it lack of calcium causes brittle nails

took her to the vets today he said it will grow back and shell stop limping once the nerves retreat, i did read up about lack of calcium but she gets plenty of bones and chicken wings etc etc so cant see it bein that, i hope. thanks for replys
