Went to dog park with Charlie knowing it would be icy on Monday. Threw ball as usual and noticed Charlie licking his paws. Figured he got snow/ice on them but when I got closer, saw couple puddles of blood. Somehow he managed to break/rip-off both of his dew claws. Quick trip to vet, he’s all patched up but has to wear the dreaded cone. Won’t be running him on icy ground again.
Ouch!
This is the before vet visit. She basically cut nail down to bone but said it should grow back. Looked painful but he really didn’t yelp or act in pain.
