BRAN 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Give the dog a run today, run like he was hurt, thought it was his wrist bent it back and he squealed. Headed back and ON closer inspection after washed the dog's feet with tea tree oil, realized it's his dew claw that is badly swollen, what do you think? Should I get them removed?

Guest little lurcher Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 could be very expensive having them off? becomes a full on op ? i wrap mine with a bit of vet wrap or an ice pack should bring down swelling ? jmo though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MIKE1 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 could be very expensive having them off? becomes a full on op ? i wrap mine with a bit of vet wrap or an ice pack should bring down swelling ? jmo though hi all i was out last night and i let my 4 year old bitch have a run for the first time this year. had 5 in the bag then she give a yap got her back to see dew claws. yes the 2 of them was hanging off. so the night was over. i got her in the car and by the time we got home she had bit them off. she got to stay in the house last night i think she done it just to get in the house she is ok today but i think it is beter to get them off when they are young then you dont have a night cut sourt. i have had my pup done so will not have that problem thank god. all the best for this year.

Guest Frank Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 My bitch is lame at the moment with one of hers hanging off. She will lick it well again. Best to have them off. Better when their pups aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
