Coupd you get a pic of the foot and the spot you're concerned about? Is she having a hard time walking?Thanks for the advice. The nail did break off at the end, and bleeding slowed after that. It took a bit for me to wrap it in a way that it stays on that toe. I have to work by myself, and I'm new at this. On the same foot, I noticed a small area that is rough and a bit hard. There is no dark spot. I applied some antibacterial ointment after washing the foot...in both areas but could only get the toe wrapped this morning. Should I be soaking her foot too? She now has an open wound on the toe, so I wouldn't want bacteria to migrate.
Also, how long do you recommend keeping her inside? And any recommendations to make her comfortable? She's in a med dog crate with a towel and pine shavings so has to stand or sit but doesn't seem very comfortable.
I'll wait for photos to advise - my guess is the nail is probably fine left uncovered and untreated as long as the quick stays scabbed over (which it should, as long as it was allowed to dry off after treatment) so the dark spot is really what I'm curious about.Thanks for the advice.

She'll be fine to go back outside. As Rosemarythyme said it'll heal up just fine.No difficulty walking. Just concerned cuz of the texture and 1 spot seemed hard. I'll try to get a good pic later today.
