I am STILL waiting for my vet to ring me, so I just rang him, he's busy, but will ring when he's finished. I need to know what I can put on it. It's very dried up and doesn't look infected, but perhaps he will let me slap some Fuciderm on it? I don't know? I've got some wound powder and other stuff, but I need to ask him. Also I think I'll take him tomorrow for some ab's! Thanks sooooooo much, it was only your post that made me check out his nails thoroughly!
It just sounded so much like what we had with patch.
Hope your doggy feels better soon.

He's still limping very badly today. I spoke to my vet eventually at 7.30pm. last night, he was very tired, just done a 12hour day and he won't be able to see us until tomorrow afternoon!! I don't want that other chap who diagnosed ARTHRITIS (my a***). I just knew it wasn't that!!! He told me there was nothing I could put on it,just salt water. I hope he does something miraculous tomorrow afternoon, coz I feel so sorry for poor little Georgie, he hasn't complained once, such an inoffence little man he is, unlike my "in yer face" Cassie, she would have been screaming the house down!!
I have been doing the salt water, but I've also been spraying some iodine on it when we've got back from our walks today, coz I don't want it getting infected, if it isn't already that is, but I can't see any sign of that. Mind you, I don't really know what to look for, the toe seems ok, not swollen.
I wonder what's next?????!!!!!

He was fine this morning after my first aid on it, but now he's limping again after we've been out. I've got some of that Savlon wash now instead of salt water, so I've been spraying that on. I've got an appointment tomorrow at 9am with my normal vet, he'll sort it out!
