Do i have to bring my dog to the vet if one of her toe nails ripped off her toe?

Yes if you want to stop the bleeding %26amp; make sure it is cleaned properly %26amp; bandaged if needed. It is a painful injury %26amp; usually beyond basic owner care.Do i have to bring my dog to the vet if one of her toe nails ripped off her toe?
I am going to go against everyone in this but NO you don't need to go to the vet for this. If you are worried about infection you can go and they will give her antibiotics, clean it a little bit and charge you a lot. I work for a boarding kennel/groom shop and you would be shocked at how many pets loose toe nails and the dog/owner doesn't notice it. Personally my Jack Russell lost her toe nail when she was playing too hard with my moms lab. It bleed for about an hour, I was able to put some Qwik stop on it and then she was fine. Most dogs including her, do not mind when this happens. They would rather go on with what they were doing than have you looking at their feet. This is not comparable with losing a toe. It is just a nail. I know when I lost a finger nail I didn't rush to the doctors office. With time your pets nail will grow back and be normal. My jacks nail is already back to normal.(It happened about 4 months ago).Do i have to bring my dog to the vet if one of her toe nails ripped off her toe?
That depends on how severe the bleeding is. You might want to use some kind of swab to get rid of any dirt, then put on a thick, cushiony dressing, to keep out dirt and make it hurt less until it heals. The only real concerns are that the dog might lose too much blood (unlikely) or that it's wound might get infected.
Well it all depends really. Spray it with some anitseptic and see how it goes. Put some ice on it to take the swelling down, all the usual things you to with a human.





The choice is yours but it probably just looks worse than it is. My dog's claw ripped off before and she bled and limped but it she never went to a vet and it healed quickly.





If we took our pets to the vet everytime they had a minor injury they'd cost us thousands of pounds! But like I said, it's up to you.





Hope she gets better soon. [:
if you have a lot of disposable money than yes, but in reality NO, there is not reason, and pain killers are not good for dogs, their livers don't deal with them well, just clean it up, and wrap it up and it will heal in no time.





Our german short-haired pointer ripped hers off and all we did was put qwik stop on it and bandage it up, and it was perfectly fine.
yes.


my ridgeback mix did the same thing the other day. off to the vets we went. they trimmed it down (it was hanging by a thread), cauterized it to stop the bleeding and prescribed antibiotics.


it's easy for an infection to set in, then it'll cost even more.


$90.00.
This happened to my cat, and we ended up getting the toe removed, I imagine it's about the same with dogs. Take your dog soon before infection sets in, and get him a good painkiller!!
your dog is in a lot of pain..you should then ask the vet how to equip yourself so you can handle it at home if this ever happens again but it will depend.
Would you take your child to the doctor if one of it's nails were ripped off it's finger?





Yes....take your dog to the vet.
Should you be taken to the emergency if your toe fell off from your foot or if you sprained your ankle?? What makes you think your pain tolerance is lower than a dogs????
Why are you asking us this quesiton? You should be asking yourself how much you care about your dog and how responsible you choose to be!
Yes. It is a very active area for infection, and quite painful.
Yes.





That happened to my ';Abby';, and I took her in, she was on Clavamox tabs for a week.
yes- it's extremely painful, and it's an area VERY susceptible to infection.
yes she is probably in a lot of pain
Of course you should!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
