| Broken dew claw awww my Dex broke his dew claw. He is walking fine for the most part but his paw seems to bother him like every other step! He won't let me touch it. I did force him to stay still so i could check it out and it looks like the claw is broken maybe too low, but he seems ok. anyone have any experience with this?

| I'm no expert but maybe you should just have the vet remove it. Good Luck and I hope Dex feels better. |

| Giz broke on of his regular nails and they had to clip it super short or it would snag all of the time and you don't want it to hit that vein. They put Giz on pain meds for a couple days after it too, but he really was 100% the sec after they clipped it off. Poor guy!!
