Hi guys-

Just wanted to know if anyone has seen this before. Piggy pads near her dew claws are looking awfully white and cracked, but the cracked pieces are almost coming out in sprout-like formations. I just noticed it and am going to make a vet appt, but has anyone seen this?? They are not bothering her at all she hasn't even been licking or biting them and seems healthy otherwise. Think its a fungus?

-Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your help concerning Seren's torn dew claw. We've just returned from the vet. It wasn't her toe just the nail. Her nail was trimed (pretty deep) and bandaged.She looks so pathetic holding her foot up with the bandage. Hopefully the bandage will stay on at least until tomorrow. A little bit of 'bitter apple' may help. The vet assures me she will be fine.

I use a little heavier emollient than vaseline (Aquaphor) and massage it in. It doesn't seem to rub off as easy as vaseline. The whole family uses it as well. Chapped hands, lips, etc..It works great, and faster IMO.

I agree with having them removed! and I WISH I had done it. I, too, have heard of dogs getting injuries w/ the dews… they get caught. My own dog has caught his a couple of times, thankfully, nothing serious (yet).

So if the dog is under anyways - I say go for it!

and yes, I cut my dog's dew claws like the rest of his nails.
