Greylover97 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 At the start of February, Carolina broke her nail off in the yard. She went to the vet and he clipped it all the way back. The nail is finally starting to grow back in. The problem is that her quick is growing in faster then her nail, so there are little blood spots on the carpet. It isn't actively bleeding, more like oozing. Is there anything that I can do? Does she need to go back to the vet? Any advice would be helpful.

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't think there's much to be done, other than try to keep it clean... so maybe socks or boots for outside time and socks inside the house... I've only ever had to deal with a broken dew claw though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Doesn't sound right. Try soaking and see how she does. It may be infected and need antibiotics. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Weird! Probably the bootie/sock arrangement, like BlackandBrindle says. Good luck!

turbotaina Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Doesn't sound right. Try soaking and see how she does. It may be infected and need antibiotics. Something weird's going on there. Have you spoken to your vet about it? Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury). Missing Turbo (Sendahl Boss), Pancho, JoJo, and "Fat Stacks" Juana, the psycho kitty.

Greylover97 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 She went to the vet this morning. The quick is right in line with the nail, so anytime she walks on concrete or a hard surface she scraps it. We were sent home with a small bottle of quick stop. Said there isn't much of anything else they can do. Will have to keep an eye on it and hope the nail will cover the quick eventually.

Guest lotsagreys4me Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I would put a bootie on her or something to protect that nail bed........Never heard of this before, let us know how the healing process goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
