Hello all again!
I'm hear once again to get some advice about what I should do with my girl. Saturday I noticed that her nail was cracked and wasn't sure if it was going to break off, but didn't do much with it because it was still attached. The next time we went outside and came back in, it was gone. So after reading some "What to do"'s on the internet I very carefully trimmed the nail down so that it would not snag on anything. There has been absolutely no blood or whimpering about this incident, but she is limping VERY hard, barely putting pressure on it at all when she walks. She's not sensitive to when I'm around that area, maybe because she trusts me...I'm not sure, but when I poke around to see if it's something besides her nail she just acts like I'm giving her a massage, haha.
She seems happy, but she is resting more. I'm wondering about if anyone else has experienced this issue too. Maybe to give me an idea of how long she may limp on her leg, so I don't wait too long before taking her to a vet. Or any pain remedies I can give her without getting a prescription from the vet as well.
THANK YOU!!!
