Today, I took Daisy to the vet to see why one of her left front toes was bleeding. We had noticed her licking it Wednesday night but didn’t realize until last night that it was bleeding. So this morning, I called the vet and got her in to be seen a.s.a.p.!
Come to find out Daisy had pulled her toe nail out and it was infected! OUCH! Needless to say, I was shocked! I had no idea a dogs toe nails could be just ripped out, so easily! I just cringe thinking about it! Poor girlie. So the Dr. trimmed her nails, trimmed up the area around her toe, and bandaged up her foot. Daisy goes back again on Tuesday of next week, to see how the infection is and to see if the toe nail has fallen out (which the Dr. said would likely happen!). So for now, we are to give Daisy antibiotics twice daily, keep her bandage dry (very dry), and put a “boot” on her foot whenever she goes outside.
She limps around when she’s up but has mostly stayed off the foot and slept.
