Title: my poor doggy!!!!!
Post by: simdeb on August 22, 2007, 23:42:06: 8 month old lab sat whimpering tonight, not much but thought i better take a look at him, he seems to have pulled the 'hard' nail covering off his toe claw leaving the red 'what ever it is' at the side of it :shock: fetched my neighbour to look at it for me 'she's a very big dog lover and nows what to do' agreed, 10 mins later he's banaged and socked up and looking very sorry for him self!!!

imagine if you'd ripped your nail off!!!

But then spaniels are tough little <edit> (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=42831)!!

I hope your dog gets over it soon.

Mine went missing last week, couldn't find her anywhere, finally found her, she had gone to the local pub, walked along the high wall in the back carpark and whilst trying to pinch food out of one of the big bins she had fallen in and couldn't get out. That's not to say she didn't make the best of her time in there, she'd eaten so much she looked pregnant!
