Just got back from the vet. Looks like the dog's toe nail is broken and has to be cut at the base. They have to put her under anesthesia for the procedure. Anyone ever go through this with your dog before? Just wondering what to expect. Will the nail grow back? __________________ Dog's on point... get ready!!!

Nail will grow back, slowly, and sometimes will grow crooked or funny.Use to see 'em all the time at the clinic I worked at.Try and keep your dogs nails trimmed and you should have no problems in the future.You can try and use a dremal tool w/ a round sander attachment, works great!Lots of new stuff out there too.Good luck and stop trying to train your dog to climb trees!!! __________________ Half assed is better than expected

| Yes, I had a dog split a nail while hunting. It was very painful and lots of bleeding. The vet cut it off at the base sealed it with a crazy glue type glue and it did grow back. Here's hoping for a quick recovery. Nail injuries are usually painful for dogs. | ||

Thanks for the well wishes JSD  The vet advised that anesthesia is the best way to go because the nail removal will be very painful. I would prefer no anesthesia, but if the dog will be more comfortable then I guess the anesthesia is best.__________________ Dog's on point... get ready!!!

It happens a lot to one of my Brittanys. He would tear them on my deck when I would let him out when he saw a chipmunk or squirrel and chased them. They always grew back but the anesthesia always knocked him down for a day. __________________ Vice President Ocean County Federation Of Sportsmans Club Life Member UBNJ NAHC NRA Member Black Knight Bowbenders

| Hope for speedy recovery Jon. I have to attend to my animal now as well and been putting off for a couple days. She spiked me last night so that reminded me. A couple times I seen her nails split and put crazy glue on them to protect till I could cut away myself. | ||

My dog got his toenail stuck in the hardwood floor molding where it meets the carpet (as he was running for the front door"bell".) sheared the toenail off and the quick was fully exposed (however not cut or bleeding). It was winter and very cold. We were careful with him but it didn't bother him at all. In about a month you could never tell anything happened. __________________ I'll call you my hunting partner when you jump into freezing water to get my ducks.

So far, everything seems to have gone just fine with the procedure. She appeared to be in a lot of pain, but I could be wrong. Sometimes it's tough to tell with a dog... they never answer when you ask, "On a scale from 1-10, how much does it hurt?"  Pretty soon though, she'll be back in action and chasing birds through the wilds of NJ. Thanks everyone for all the well wishes and peace of mind

My English Pointer was born with a crooked nail and no pad on one foot. Vet said that they would have to amputate the toe to fix it. I bought a $5.00 boot instead. __________________ WELCOME TO THE United Socialist States of America( USSA)

Best, It'll take a lot more than that to keep a dog down, A more resiliant animal I've never met!
As for the toe nail, if it was not completly removed, it will grow back in no time! Attila has broken a nail a time or two, with the proper care there was never any ill affects. Good luck for a speedy recovery. __________________ Hunt with a Vizsla, Cause life's to short to hunt with an ugly dog!

My Dad's got a whole toe removed, we thought is was his nail that broke the kept getting infected, but it was a tomor. Long story short the dog hunted last year and he is still going strong would never know he is missing a toe. __________________ |
