My poor lab pup broke a nail pretty far up tonight. Not sure what she caught it on. She was running about then suddenly, blood on the carpet.
I had to nip off the dangly bit and she yipped and curled into the little ball in my lap and tucked her tail deeper than i have ever seen...
I don't care if I look big and tough I will admit that was almost enough to bring a tear to my eye. I sat and just rocked her for a long time. She is so sad!
Ouch poor puppy.
@duluthralphie my dog hurt his back, very long story, but, for them to heal you need to keep her from jumping off of furniture, or out of a truck, or jumping for a ball for 3 months at least.
Our puppy chiropractor said the worse thing they can do is Jump down. The jumping up is fine, but when they jumo down their rib cage keeps the upper back straight, but the lower half where there is no rib cage can twist, or compress and you can rupture disks or get Muscle spasms, strains ect. He said he saw a huge increase in the duluth police canine dogs of back injuries when they switched from cars to suvs. Our dog is fine now, 2 years ago be lost total use of his back legs for 3 days. And some loss to his front Very scary. It is a $5000 surgury if it happens again and he losses deep pain sensation. No jumping for him.
