| One of the nails out of place Hi, I have a big worry... My furbaby was chasing me and he ran into a wall. He started to limp a bit and one of his nails started to bleed. His nail looks like it kind of went out of place. He doesn't even want to use that arm to walk. My vet is closed due to Mother's Day. Any advice on what I should do? |

| If there are no emergency vets open, I would try to keep it immobilized and get to the vet first thing in the morning. Good luck.

| The same thing happened when I accidentally stepped on my puppy Olive's foot in platforms I put some antibiotic ointment on it and she was fine... but she wasn't really limping and she was back to normal within a few minutes. I hope for the same for your furbaby! If not, I'd do what Jacksmom said.... |

| Make sure you bandage the wound, bc him licking it can cause other problems. It's purely cosmetic to have a nail fixed, but he should see the vet just in case he broke a tiny bone in his paw or not. Hope he'll feel better soon.
