jaegervulpes 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 More than likely its just the swelling from the trauma of whatever cracked the nail in the first place seen as shes not lame. Best thing to do is bathe in warm salt water 2-3 times a day. If after a couple days there's no change, its worth seeking a vet in case its something more sinister that could impair her running terminally i.e. worst case scenario, hair line fracture in the toe. With regards to running her, just use common sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
