Dew Nail Split

• Dew Nail Split Masterbeastly Posted : 9/2/2013 1:10:18 AM My pup was running in the house today when he let out a cry. After further inspection I noticed that on one of his from paws the nail was splitting from the quick and not lining up with the keratin.So when there is any presser pushing the quick into the keratin he cries. I'm going to call the vet after the weekend but wanted to know if there was something I could do in the mean time.  LIKE 2 REPLIES 266 VIEWS LAST POST CALLIECRITTURS Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• calliecritturs Posted : 9/2/2013 5:55:17 PM Yep -- what Jackie said -- they hurt like the very devil ... the vet likely will have to remove the nail, but they DO grow back and it toughens after a few days.  But while the nail is on there it's likely pinching the skin underneath.  ouch 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
