Nail Problem?

Today Dakota and Jasper were playing outside. Dakota tripped, but seem fine and we continued playing.

Soon, we noticed a bit of blood in her foot prints, upon closer investigation we noticed she had broken a nail. Nothing I think is major (H is concerned and is google-ing like a nut, so he's paranoid). The nail tip seems to have broken off (kinda still attached, but by a hair) and I honestly think it's just the quick that is "cut" as if her nail was clipped too short. 

Do you guys think this warrants a vet visit (H's thinks so, but again, he's paranoid with all the google-ing he's doing) or should I just get some quickstop?

She seems fine, no limping or whining, no licking at her foot. We did cover it with a bit of gauze and an old sock so it doesn't bleed on the carpet. 

Re: Nail Problem?

  • It does sound a lot like a broken quick.  If it were me I would pay special attention to her (which you seem to be already doing) and if she does start showing any symptoms, then go to the vet.  But it sounds like she doesn't need the vet now.  I wouldn't worry about it.  But I confess I get paranoid about these things as well!
