Thread: Cracked Claw

Bugger mate. My GSP used to break hers a bit, especially on multi day hunting trips in the tops. You should trim it up as short as possible, without reaching the point where it bleeds, aking sure you cut/file off any snaggy/rough bits and use disinfectant to clean it thoroughly, I just use dettol water mix, and then put him on light duties for a few days. I make sure the dog can't access mud and dirt too much, to avoid infection. I have now started taking more notice of my dogs feet and trim her nails regularly. This has decreased the amount of damage she does to them ten fold.

I'm no vet, but this is simply my own observations and what has worked for me. I don't like taking the dog to the vet unless she needs it ($$$$$$$).
