Broken Nail

[Guest Lurchers2006]

My dog hurt his leg lamping last night i thought it was his shoulder but it turns out hes broke his nail, can someone please tell me what to do now, do i take him to the vets or will he be ok?

[Guest Lurchers2006]

He will be fine maybe a little sore but he will be ok just try to keep it clean.. if it is snapped it should just drop of after a while and grow back in as good as new ..

i keep my dogs nails trimmed, allmost to the quick! for some strange reason, he loses nails now & then! it looks like a round bit of flesh behind, never bleeds, & doesnt put him out of action! i allways keep it clean though!
