Post surgery for them is hard. I've seen some dogs take the surgery harder than they took a spay surgery. Pain medication is a key factor. Removing dew claws is really hard on them. Removal of Callie’s would be my very last resort. |
Yeah I am definitely taking it seriously and the vet said she is trying not to have to remove it but I'm not sure what it left to try. Can you go into detail a little more on why its hard for them? Can they walk afterwards? I feel like obviously I would like to just get it healed but sense this is her second problem with this dew claw I wonder if its just going to continue to have problems.
