LaraCroft 863 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sorry to hear that. Dragging nails like that is often a sign of nerve damage. Very harsh in any dog, let alone one so young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moonlighter 1,163 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 That's bad news, sorry to hear that. I wonder if any of the bone men would have found that? It just shows you that sometimes only a vet will do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
