I too had a problem with Willows nail.. had it cut right back to nothing.. its growing back but still seems to be taking its time in getting right.. I now wish I had left it... how is your dogs nail today? Is it sore? Welshman.. can you explain more about the pot ash and its uses as I been have heard a lot about it recently...

J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hot salt water is simple and effective for lots of nail injuries. Clip back any loose and splintered nail as this could cause further complications. Also when the nail grows back over the coming weeks it may be a good idea to file it down a little just to keep it shorter than the other nails and this may off a degree of protection. At this time of year nail injuries are common. I remember when i was a youngster, couldnt wait to get out in the fields....so we would be running the dogs without thought to the hard ground. Invariably they would smash a toe or a nail and they would need a month off just as the ground came runnable! Took me about ten years to realise my mistake!! Waiting for rain does require alot of patience, but it will come in the end.....JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
