Not quite right

[SwampDonkey]

Broken nails can be so sore. Iver cries if he gets one. Hopefully he'll be ok soon.

I’m glad he’s doing better today, Kate. Sending hugs from me and Carbon.

Yes split nails can be very painful. Can you cut it back so it doesnt hurt when he walks? Or do you think it will be ok if you just leave it?

I`m leaving it for now and see how he goes . I am booking Nelly in for her nails cutting by the Vet nurse so I can ask them to take a look at the same time xxx I took them to Golitha this afternoon , it was very quiet and I didnt throw balls for him , all going well until he spotted a squirrel

 

[kateincornwall]

I have booked him in at the Vets to hopefully have the nail trimmed and no playgroup for a while xxx

 

[Parodius]

Hopefully he will feel better once it’s been trimmed, makes me wince when they catch or split a nail, it must be so sore x

 

[David]

Poor lamb. Must be very sore.

It is awful to see them so sad and sorry for themselves, I hope he gets his bounce back soon xx

Poor love , his nail was split down the side , it could be sort of rocked open to expose the bed . The Vet has trimmed it right down as far as she dares , he has had an antibiotic jab and tablets to continue for a further six days , I am to give him his paracetamol three times a day . At the moment, it is too attached to remove so its a case of keeping an eye on it and bathing in warm salt water twice a day , he was such a good boy xxx

 

[Jacqui-S]

Poor boy, at least you have an answer. But ouch

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Ouch, that sounds so painful.

 

[kateincornwall]

Ouch, that sounds so painful.

It must be, but in true Reuben style , he was licking the Vets face as she clipped the nail xxx

He's such a sweet boy.

 

[Lab_adore]

Oh poor Reuben, I hope it heals quickly and he is back to chasing his ball and splashing in the water soon

 

[Beanwood]

Well spotted! That does sounds sore!

 

[Granca]

Hope it’s better soon.

 

[M.F.]

Glad it’s just a nail. At least now you don’t need to worry!! xxx

 

[MellowYellow]

Ouch, poor Reuben!! But it will get better. What a sweetie he is, giving the vet a kiss!

Reubs is booked for a check on his nail tomorrow morning . It looks a lot better but is still moving so as advised last week , he is having it looked at so I just hope he wont have to have it removed . He hasnt been to Playgroup for almost two weeks now because he is such a tank , I dont want to risk him catching it and making it worse xx
