I was wondering if anyone elses bassets have had some sort of nail growth. On the first "toe" on both of Bogie's front paws there seems to be this black very hard thing growing over his nail (he has white nails). I first spotted it a week or two ago, but it was only on one nail then and looked more like caked on dirt than anything else, so I washed it a lot and used a nail file to scrap some of it off. He's been licking it a lot. I am going to take him to the vet this week to get it checked out, but we are in the middle of an ice storm right now or else I would be taking him over today. It doesn't seem to hurt him or anything, but it just doesn't seem right to me.
Thanks for any advice!
