bluedogge 1 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) u could try that new "spray plaster wound dressing" thats been on the tv mate,nowt 4 the dog to pull off! just an idea! other than that it'll have to b the good old lampshade from the vets!! good luck Edited July 20, 2008 by bluedogge Quote Link to post
Guest buster321c Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Make sure you rest him and keep it clean , im sure i heard of a vet that said `it`ll never grow properly so remove the toe ` not sure where i heard it , but i did hear it !! just rest and limited exercise , he`ll be right soon enough Quote Link to post
Guest smashygadge Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 my grey did the same. best left open as so the dog can keep it clean rest it up it will be fine once it stops weeping .it dosnt come back as a full nail but dosnt affect performance and balance they soon ajust Quote Link to post
