coneykenny 98 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I had the pup(9 mths) on the beach this morning for a gallop.She run well and i was well pleased with her. As i was checking her over i noticed a bit of blood no her back foot.The skin covering her outer toe was split. it looks like she hit soft sand ,over bent the toe and split the skin around the toe.she showed no sign of been hurt and was full of running.I got her home and flushed out any sand and left it at that. Any suggestions on what else i can do would be welcome.thanks Quote Link to post
