Cookie tore her dewclaw trying to climb over the fence
She only tries to get over the fence if one of us is out front with the other dogs. I always lock her inside the house if I am doing something with one of the others, but my husband forgot. He was throwing bumpers for the others and she wanted a chance.
We didn’t realize she’d hurt herself (I came home right after it happened) at first until we noticed blood everywhere!
Took her to the vet to get it cleaned up and they said she’d torn the entire nail off, so they bandaged it up, put her on antibiotics and a few days of Rimadyl.
Poor baby! She is our 6th dog with intact dewclaws and our first injury, although I know they are not uncommon.
