Simoman 110 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 If its just a knocked toe, cut the nail right back to the quick, cage rest her for week or so and no free running exercise for a month...... Quote Link to post

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 If your not happy with his opinion then get another, Plus likes been said try one that specialise in running dogs and take it from there, If it is broke and theres been tendon damage ect then it will take months too heal properly, But no point guessing till you know 100% what the injury is...........
