Is my silkie going to lose her whole toe or just the tip (frostbite?)

[akitafriendakita]

Noticed that one of my silkies has frostbite today. Not totally sure how she got it but she is my smallest silkie so maybe she just couldn't handle the weather or her foot got wet somehow. I cleaned it up and have her inside now, her appetite is fine and she's still walking on it.

Is she going to lose this entire toe or just the tip where the black parts are? Can she walk alright if she loses most of her toe? Thanks for any advice here!

She'll be fine if she loses the toe. One of my silkies last winter got frost bite on 3 front toes on each foot, & now has stubs for toes she walks on just fine.
