No claw!
Tonight I tried walking the dogs on their first proper walk since Brutus’ incident with his claw. In the last couple of weeks it has grown longer, to the point we could see the break.
The first mile or so was fine. He didn’t limp or have any problems. After a while, he yellped. I looked down and it was twisted up and around. I picked him up and headed home.
At some point, the whole nail came off. Fortunately, the quick had healed up, so while that is now exposed, it’s not broken or bleeding. He quite happily trotted along once that nail had gone.
While he’s licked it a few times now, he seems in a lot less discomfort than he was earlier, so I’m very happy about that!
