Lost toenail!

[Amret1989]

My fiancé saw my girl was limping, so we brought her inside to see what was going on and she lost a toe nail. She wouldn’t stand on it at all. I’ve brought her inside, have her a bath to clean it and am drying her now. What do I need to do? Just keep an eye on it ? There was no bleeding. She seems to be fine otherwise!

One of my Faverolles lost a toe nail and I, being a nervous nelly, whisked her off to the vet, where they cleaned up her foot and used some sort of antibiotic on it.

When my second Fav lost a toe nail (they're in the coop where everyone jostles around for the best space on the roosts -- even though there is plenty of room for all), I cleaned her up myself, sprayed on some Vetricyn and saved a few dollars.

I am no expert, but if she's not bleeding, I think she'll be okay.

I have her inside for the night, just to make sure! She’s not digging my home made diaper

Is it very cold where you live?

not too cold, I live in North Carolina. I think the low tonight is 39 and the day temp is about 50.

That probably rules out frostbite.

You are so lucky there was no blood. When my girl lost her nail, there was blood EVERYWHERE and it was just gushing and gushing out. It was a very traumatic experience.
