Nail care question...

[mammyglicks]

I noticed today somehow Bear cracked a nail completely off, no doubt from running into the walls and being insane for the past few days.

I took a pic because I may not describe it right so its below. The quick is completely exposed. Do I need to put anything on it until his nail grows back?

NOPE! I took one of my Bullies to the vet the first time this happened. He said if it bleeds, use a styptic pencil like the one a man might use if he cuts himself. These are good too if you accidently cut a nail too close to the quick. The TECH (who is a good, 'ole country girl) said to stick it in flour.

No it will heal up on its own. Just make sure it doesnt bleed and should be fine, just sore. Poor Bear, had to hurt!
