spiderfly 111 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i`d leave it if it healed nice i did with my dog and shes flying Quote Link to post
bill88 6 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 If its healed ok id leave well alone.Lots of arguments for and against dew claw removal in running dogs,i have one with and one without.Some say they are prone to damage and should be removed,but ive had a number of running dogs that had dew claws intact and whether i was just lucky,i have never had a dog damage a dew claw.
