My poor dog's nail is twisted around

My dogs nail twisted all the way around, but its still atached, so its hurting her and shes in a lot of pain. She wont even eat. I want to cut it off but I dont know how to. What can I do???

Answer #1

What can you do?

TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE VET!!!

What if you were in horrible pain? You would want someone to take you to a doctor… Why would you not do the same for your pet???

Answer #2

it might, so in my opinion, if it really is bothering her, I would go to the pet store and invest in some doggy nail clippers. that way, you dont have to get her nails like professionally done by a groomer, you can just clip them yourself! good luck!

Answer #3

If you’re not sure, or even afraid. I’d honestly take her to the vet. Explain what’s wrong, and bring her in. They’ll take care of it, and they know how. That’s probably the safest way to go, but I’m sure you don’t want her to be in pain, so I’d do it soon.

Answer #4

get her to the vet! it is probably cutting her paw and putting her in tons of pain! a vet will know what to do better than you would because they would have seen something like it beofre. good luck!

Answer #5

No, my dog’s nail grew into his skin, until he could barely walk. You need to go to the vet.

Answer #6

do you think it will end up coming/falling off?

Answer #7

it went away! alone!

Answer #8

DITTO DOTTO DOTTO amoeba!! Get this girl to the vet before it gets infected…it’s not going to be that big of deal, but he can help her with the pain, and will probably bandage it for a few days…
