Dew claw I have never had a dog from a reputable breeder and never had one that had their dew claws removed. Although research shows Penny did not come from a reputable breeder her dew claws are gone. When I was messing with her paw I noticed on the left one there is actually a pretty decent scar and it seems like you can feel the whole joint under the skin and everything but it is not like that on her other paw. Is that normal or is it possible that one paw was done wrong? She goes in to the vet in two weeks for a recheck and I was going to ask the vet then to but I was just wondering. |
Got Gidget from a breeder. She still has her dew claws. Hope someone on this Board can answer your question and concern. |
Bella had her dew claws removed at a very young age, before we got her. I've never felt any bumps in the location where they were. I didn't know it was possible to mess up their removal, but so long as the joint with the nail was removed, there shouldn't be any bad effects. I'm sure your vet will be able to tell you for sure. I've watched youtube videos of dew claw removal and I think it's as barbaric as tail docking, but with dew claw removal, at least there are beneficial effects, such as not having to worry about the nail getting caught on something and torn off. |
