What Do You Think Lads? Vets?

[air gun ant 1,666]

My first lurcher and her first injury? She seems to be in a fair bit of pain with it and I'm worried about infection.

She's caught it on something last night, the nail was vertical she's cleaning it herself but i think it will probs come of TBH?

Is the nail flapping around or is it still rooted? Salt water and bathe the foot 2/3 times a day for 5 days to stop any infection and wash out any debri

vetranery nurse sorry, then she joined the ambulance and became a paramedic, I'd forgotten that she had vetranery experiance.

Well it was all looking good until a couple of days ago, the toe swelled up, went a bit red and I gave it a sniff and could smell that infection smell. £40 for a jab last night and in for surgery this morning with an estimate of £100-£250 to remove the nail? I should of probably taken her straight there really. Anybody no how long it'll take her to recover and get back working after having the claw removed?

Happened to my dog last year, only just seen this would of advised vet mate. Now it's off your dog should be sound when wound has closed, won't take long, dog would probably be willing to run within a week, judge it yourself though mate, mine was running again within 2-3 weeks.My dogs nail grew back as a little stump. and doesn't effect how he runs. Just make sure it's kept clean after being out.
