| Not sure what to do! Like at 6:30 today my baby Edward, started licking his front paw a lot so i thought he had something stuck on his paw but i could not find anything but then i notice little dots of blood in my kitchen. Then i found his nail next to one of the dots of blood. when i checked his paw his whole nail down to the root had come off should i take him to the vet?

your best is to take him to the vets tomorrow and have it checked out , make sure you do it sooner rather than later, if infection gets in you may end up with a larger bill and a sore doggi. how did it happen? do you have any idea/ did the nail tangled somewhere? maybe the nail was overgrown? Good luck ! xoxo

| Poor baby! I hope the vet makes him all better. Let us know how your visit goes. To be honest, I had never heard of this and can't wait to hear what your vet says! |

| I'm glad your little one is going to be ok. He must have caught it on something.
