David.evans 5,323 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Blue spray ? Whats that mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabid 1,936 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Antiseptic healing spray, all sheep farmers have it if you have a farm perm, cattle, horses, dogs, you name it every farmer I know has it. If you get stuck I can send you a can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Worth keeping a can about, cuts and nicks on paws, bites, thorns, you name it. Holiday was awesome, great to get away for a few days, long distant memory now, nose to the grindstone again ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oz0707 65 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Had it happen a few times. I think it's just like when we damage a nail and it grows back. The dog is it more pain when it's hanging on by a thread. More relieved when it comes off. Just keep it clean salt water regularly and keep an eye on will be fine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy8 6 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I had a german shepherd that caught the nail amd pulled it out, if it takes the root then it a never grow bk but if the root is disturbed it may grow bk funny(slightly facing up so doesn't get ground down when walking) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
