Now she DOES look sorry for herself doesn't she? Bless her.

Bella had a claw removed. It did grow back but took AGES to do so.

I can't remember how long it took for Tonks to grow it back previously. Poor girl has had so many days of no walks recently.

Aw bless her. Hope it heals up quickly for her.

She is lovely.

Thank you. She seems quite chipper this morning now the anaesthetic has worn off. She didnt touch the bandage all night, but she hate wearing the drip bag she has to have over it to go out in the garden. Poor Tonks.

Jack recently lost a nail. He 'twanged' it quite badly and was left with a flap of nail digging into the nail bed. The vet trimmed off the flap as much as possible but decided not to remove the nail as it was still quite well attached. A few days later and some very frozen lumpy ground and it was gone and he was left with the quick. I taped a sock on his leg so that he wouldn't keep licking it and he's fine now. It was an inside toe so not too prominent.

Oooo, it all sounds very painful. Tonks' was up inside the toe too and was sticking up at a very odd angle and oozing blood. Think she had vibe big snorkelling with it and got it infected. Yuck!

Hi Poor you, was it the dew claw,I have heard that it can be quite painful,how about wearing a little bootee on that paw,as she must have a weakness there,when you take her out for walks,I think recently there was a post about bootees,chin up crystalgirl

Aw, poor Tonks What a very clever girl to know to keep it elevated I hope you kids get over the chicken pox quickly, but much better for them to have it and get it over and done with.

Hiya, no it wasn't a dew claw it was front right paw, second toe in from the left. Now it's gone she's weight bearing fine on it. Remus is very interested in the bandage but Tonks ignores it.
Thank you. Tonks seems fine really....and the poxy one seems fairly chipper too.

Well when I say Bella had one removed - vet wouldn't remove it but just trimmed it right back. She removed it herself the same day.

It didn't bother her at all tho' - not when it happened (apparently - she was in the boarding) nor when I noticed it, nor when he trimmed it and not when it was gone either.

Only that you could see it was gone - or you'd never have known. I gave up looking to see if it was growing back and then, months later, I noticed it had!
