Ten minutes later we called it quits and started going home, noticed a lot of blood on his foot. He'd broken his nail quite high up, remains of the nail were all twisted, bent sideways and digging into the exposed soft area. Got home, washed it off & after a look I clipped the nail off at the broken point. It stopped bleeding fairly quickly. Obviously now I need to bandage it, was thinking non-stick dressing, a layer of padding, then vet wrap. Does that sound about right? Oh it's the outside nail on a hind leg.

Mostly because the dog licked it open or scraped it open on concrete from running around. It can be a pain in the bum. I know someone who solved the problem with styptic and a few coats of clear nail polish. Lol It's good that you got it off at the broken point. Is he fussing with it at all?

When unattended I've been bandaging it to keep him away from it, and putting a sock on when he goes into the garden etc. It's not been bleeding but looks pretty painful still.
