My jack russel mix had a back dew claw that was dangling and caught on things so we had it removed when we had her spayed (1 yr old). I didn't realize that it would be painful for her to have it removed at that age plus, I didn't have much choice as she kept catching it on blankets and had actually torn it. They must have damaged a nerve or something when they removed it because now she sometimes holds that foot up like her leg has fallen asleep or something doesn't feel right. Poor baby. I think if it is not catching on things you might just want to leave it. I have also changed to a different vet for many reasons other than this.
