My poor girl did something to her paw today. She was outside with Big D and Little D while they played street hockey and she somehow ripped her high inside claw off a little or something. She was bleeding a little, but we’ve got her all doctored up with Troll Baby’s old receiving blankets wrapped around her paw.
Somehow she still hobbles to the kitchen when the cheese grater comes out of the kitchen drawer. I told you - attention whore!
I do feel really bad for her though. I’m sure it smarts.

Is it her dew-claw? Those are really easy to rip (alot of people have them removed, but I never do)
Poor Ruffy..
My doggie has a hot spot right now..so I understand your concern. If it gets infected, (and that happens easily) be sure to take her to the vet.

I worry about nails getting ripped off on one of my dogs too, I even had her nails quicked and they are still long. Gonna have to get them quicked again even shorter. The bad thing about their nails is that its a major artery and they could bleed to death if not taken care of quickly.

I had a dog that ripped off a claw once. Either he had a real high tolerance for pain or had no nerves in the claw area. He never acted like it hurt him and I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t seen the bloody paw prints he was leaving.
His claw grew back just fine. That doesn’t always happen, though.
Give Ruffy a pet for me.

Some dogs just have a super high tolerance for pain.. some of it is breed related.. some of it is personality.. look out.. I could talk dogs all day

Oh, poor thing! It seems to be such a be such a bad few weeks for family pets. I have two friends and a family member’s who died and my mother-in-law’s cat was hit by a car and injured. I hope yours gets better soon!

That picture is so sad. I don’t normally see a picture of someone else’s cat and feel emotion, but there’s a first time for everything…
Get well soon, kitty.
