Is it an 'inside' toe or an 'outside' toe? Molly broke her outside toe on Thanksgiving, and the vet put a splint on it and wrapped it, I think because it was on the outside. She tolerated the splint for about 10 days (was supposed to be three weeks) then started messing with it, so the vet told me I could cut it off. I kept her on pain meds for about a month, until she (mostly) stopped limping. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't have bothered splinting it, but Molly is a bit of a drama queen so I thought it was worse than it probably really was.
