poor poor Heidi

Poor little Heidi. I know sharp edges can be bad on those crates. Daisy went through 3 crates because she broke the wires. We had to use wire cutters so she wouldn't hurt herself. The last crate we brought was heavy duty and she couldn't break the wires by biting. She finally quit that bad habit.

I hope Heidi's nail heals up quickly. Give her a hug for us.

Kisses on the whisker for little Heidi :) xoxox Cherie

Poor Heidi...I ripped my nail out once, lots of blood for a few minutes but it stopped. Scared my mom, though. It grew back. Mom just kept it clean and dry, so I didn't need to go to the vet.

It looks wet kind of a white nail with blood on it but it doesn't get better or worse. She doesn't want me near it , what should I do ?

I'd err on the side of caution and take her in - especially because it is bothering her when she walks. I'd fear secondary infection too. If the nail is cracked or cut into the quick, it will heal and return to normal but it'll take some time.

called the Vet and they said bring her in so... they sedated and cut the nail off. Hopefully a new one will grown in . I could have left it alone ( much cheaper) but it was so sore that every time she and Gretchen played it would have hurt . She is back home and kind of dopey but fine
