Dog with damaged claw?!

[Liviaa'x]

Hi all..

My likkle dog has somehow damaged one of his claws (one of the ones on the inside legs.)

He's managed to basically 'snap' his claw in half, but it's still attached. I know they're blood vessels in each claw and unfortunately it seems he has hit it. It's bent to the side now.

I am aware that if it gets worse I should take him to the vet, but as I have no transport until later this is impossible. I also don't want to go rushing to the vets if it can be fixed at home.

I have cleasned it with alcohol free wipes, warm water and attempted to put a bandage on, but he's chewed it off.

I know all mummy's worry and dogs will be dogs! He is very happy in himself, jumping around, sleeping, running and only seems 'lame' when he's clipped the claw.

Any advice welcome

Brews and biccies for those still awake!

Cut it and leave it, it may fall off on its own. One of mine did this, dont rush to
the vets.

The vets will pull the claw and give the dog a pain killer. We have had lots of dogs in this week with the same problem.

Thanks very much for your replies, I now feel at ease.
He seems very happy within his self so will do what you have suggested
