Last night Winnie and I were chasing each other around the house. She was running and her toenail got caught in the air register. I don't think I noticed it until a few minutes later when I saw blood all over the floor. Then we stopped and she went and hid and I saw her holding up her paw at me and I was trying to get her to come to me but she still thought we were playing around.

Finally I was able to get a hold of her and when I took her into the bathroom to look at it I noticed her toenail was half way up in the hair and kind of hanging there. I tried moving it and it's still attached. She was not crying or anything and was walking fine. She just kept licking it and licking it.

I held a towel to it and tried calling my vet which said that there wasn't much that she could say over the phone unless I wanted to bring her in but it could wait until Monday. To save me a large vet bill I have decided to wait until Monday.

Today I noticed she is moping around being lazy and doesn't want to play really. She is still licking it once in a while but noticed she tucks the foot under whenever she is laying around. I keep putting it under water and have cleaned it a little bit with some peroxcide.

Just wondering if there are any comments or any thing I should be concerned about. She's only 6 months and I am sad that this had to happen to her. I don't want her to get an infection or anything. I don't know if I should be worried or not?

Thanks to anyone that responds!
