Claw Injury I might be taking Wylie to the vet today. He has injured a claw AGAIN, this is the 3rd time. The first time it happened, we did go to the vet bc I thought he may have broken a toe, but it was a claw injury. I'm beginning to wonder if some dogs have weaker claw-connective-tissue or something. What I think happens is that he catches an outer claw (usually front paw) on something when fetching or playing, and then starts bleeding where the top of his claw meats the skin. It's just terrible! I think it hurts dreadfully, he usually limps for a couple days and we don't allow fetching for about 2 weeks, to give it rest. We spray it w/ gentamycin. And then, happens again! Anyone have this problem too? I'm just at a loss on how to protect my little fetcher from injury - and Wy cannot survive without fetching! :( |
Poor little guy!!! Get well soon little Wylie, and no more injured claws!! :( |
Oh hugs! :( Get better soon little one. :hug: |
Ahhh I hope he is ok, sounds painful for him:( |
Oooooh poor Wylie~ I have no wisdom about claws to bestow. Just hope he feels better soon. Sometimes my boys snag theirs and they come completely out. (usually when I've let them get too long!) Hope your piggies feel better soon Wylie~ There are lots of toys to fetch! |
Pippa sending puppy kisses to Wylie...!!! :aimeeyork :lovewings :aimeeyork (She is very forward with cute puppy boys, and she thinks Wylie is one of the cutest... ) :hearts6: |
Ouch! Poor fella....do you think wearing socks would help? Maybe socks with duck tape or vet wrap? I have already decided to wrap Delilah in bubble wrap....want to borrow some? |
Yes, Gracie broke her toe at the first joint, her vet had to remove the first joint and nail. She was just chasing a squirrel, she came back in bleeding and had a limp. Sending hugs to Wylie. :) |
oh the poor little guy. Don't crucify me for saying this.. but can they just remove that nail altogether to avoid this problem in the future... i feel so bad for him.. it hurts so bad when WE flip our nails over.. this must hurt him so bad.. we send our love! |
Poor baby :getwell: |
