Medical Conditions & Diseases / HELP!!! Dewclaw Injury!!
« on: November 12, 2005, 07:19:26 pm »
Okay, so I was just on my way home from Murphy's first dog park trip in MONTHS due to his lengthy and difficult surgical recovery (a whole other story) when my 5 year old son noticed that "his paw was bleeding". In actuality, he has broken off one of his dewclaws about halfway up, and it's bleeding all over the place. I put some of the styptic powder that comes with the nail clippers on it that is supposed to stop bleeding, but I don't know what else to do with it....Should I clip it off so it's not all ragged? Will that make it bleed more? Should I bandage it up? Just leave it alone? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!
