The claw was split down to the quick and partly ripped away, and was catching on stuff. I cut off the part that was "hanging" and trimmed the rest as smoothly as possible. It's growing back OK. Not too sure about Super Glue because I think I'd worry about getting it into the exposed quick. Just quick thoughts. Re-reading, though, yours sounds worse.

I'm not a vet, and it may end up being the right thing to do but it just sounds wrong. It could maybe get infected? I would call a vet (one that is willing to answer your question free of charge) and ask them. If he tells you to bring your dog, hang up and call another one. You will most likely end up with a vet that helps. Or call your own vet and ask him. Mine wouldn't charge for it.

Alison Mayo Webboard User Reg: 03-14-2005 Posts: 471 Loc: Canyon Lake, tx Offline	I tried to super glue a dog's nail on after it did the same you describe from being stepped on by a horse. The glue touched the quick, burned(stinging sensation)him and then he moved- glueing the nail to the pad. great. It helped and the glue got dry and dirty and flaked off from the pad as it grew out (couple months). Helped him or it would have ripped off and been more exposed. Ouch. I guess if it doesn't hurt him then it's ok as long as he doesn't reinjure it. We had a lab who would dig until his nails bled, then would limp around until then regrew and then did it all over again. Weird farm dog who thought he would have to go back to his old owners in a small yard? Talk about pent up drive. lol Top Paw Training: serving Canyon Lake & New Braunfels, San Antonio to Austin.

Sandy Moore Webboard User Reg: 07-25-2006 Posts: 2665 Loc: AZ Offline	Mike, I found this (just a little more input for you to digest): http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/dfoot.html#Split%20toenail My concern would be if the toenail continued to get injured because of its present state. The idea of a general anesthesia isn't appealing though, can sure relate to that. I guess there's no local anesthesia administered to animals? I've never heard of it, and wonder if it's ever done.

Mike Arnold Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2004 Posts: 1344 Loc: CNY Offline	Ms. Moore, Thank you for taking the time to look up and provide me with the information. I'm thinking that if the nail is still seemingly loose after this next week I'll have the vet do the procedure. I think I'm more concerned than Max. Thanks. I appreciate it. Mike A.

Mike Arnold Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2004 Posts: 1344 Loc: CNY Offline	Ms. Voore, I appreciate your comments and telling of your personal experience. Super glue is a neat tool but in my hands it would probably end up that my hand would have to be surgically removed from Max's foot. I suppose patience is in order. Another week and then a decision if the nail and toe have not improved, I think. I am a maladroit. Thanks Mike A. "I wouldn't touch that dog, son. He don't take to pettin."
