littlefish 588 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I feel sometimes injuries are best left until the next day and by that time the dog will have nibbled it away by itself - licking it to keep it clean in the process. Glad you are sorted now. 1 Quote Link to post

rabbitcatcher 1 287 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I know mate it's the first time I've had to take a nail off, it happened to the mother ov my bitch last year while out ferreting and my mate has had and bread dogs all his life, I remember him saying he would take it off but typically he,s since moved down south so I rang him and he said it would be best to take it off, but it's off now and hopefully should heel well she's not limping on it anyway, and a big thanks to all who has replied thanks very much lads, atb for this season,adam Quote Link to post
