broken nail

• broken nail undrgnd Posted : 5/17/2009 4:10:59 PM  I noticed my dog limping today. It seems to be his front right paw that is causing the discomfort. I can only see a nail that looks to be split, everything else looks fine. If I wanted to help him out by trimming or cutting the damaged nail, what tips/tricks/tools/advice can I use? I have a petticure (nail filing tool) and I have nail clippers. I do not want to cut the quick but at the same time I don't want to leave the cracked nail as is.

That will seal the nail til it grows out enough to cut off. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willgroom4chocolate Posted : 5/18/2009 9:13:48 AM When my terrier split his nail, he wouldn't put any weight on that foot.  He went nuts anytime I got close, so I took him to the vet, and they broke off the split piece.  He was a happy camper after that, and it grew back in fine. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
