UPDATE: Opinion about this Toe and Nail

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Spud's foot is bothering him.  This toe could be red from licking or we think it may be this nail.  The nail is all Quick?  I really don't know much about dog's nails. Anyone?  Opinion

Should the nail's quick look like this?

The rest of the nails do not look like this at all.

But he seems to be licking all through this area from toe all the way up

This nail may have always looked this way. I have no idea and I can't remember. 

UPDATE:
It appears the foot is bruised :( Late last night it was no longer red and he was no longer licking his foot and was darkening. It's bruising. He plays really hard and last night attempted to take a corner fast on the wood floors. He slid into the wall. Stopped, and went and laid down. He knows it is time to just take it easy. Our dogs, sometimes, are smart this way too! Ouch. We've all bruised a toe. He is walking fine. If things worsen, of course, he will see his vet

Hi Joanne, I picked up a product called Earthbath Hot Spot and Itch Relief.  It is all natural with tea tree oil, vitamin E, oatmeal etc. May provide some soothing/relief for Spud.  I think I would take him to be checked at the vet tomorrow if I were you.  If he is being moody, it must really be bothering him.  Best thoughts.

Oh Spud, good luck! It looks like a doozy.

Hoping to hear that Spud's paw is better today. We would put a sock on it and keep him from licking it at least. We also have given Benedryl to calm the itching.

How's Spud today? And your DS of course.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

We are slowly waking up.  He was right back at the foot but his mood is good. I am giving a Claritin now and looking into these suggested anti-itch products.

DS just sent a message with " Wonderful" so the Eye Bandage ( contact lens)  must still be in place and he is still getting relief. 

Thank You all and Good Morning.

Hoping home remedies hold you all until tomorrow. Why does this stuff always happen on the weekends? arrgh!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Thanks Bonnie,

I spent Friday night, all day Saturday, and tomorrow also on my son and an eye injury.  Spud kind of has been put on the back burner as far as vet appointments the past few days.  He just didn't triage priority compared to DS eye. 

So I rely on my DK recommendations and support until I can get him  vetted.  Thanks

So sorry to hear about your DS's eye problem, eyes problems are scary things indeed.  Glad to hear he's on the  mend though.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Ditto this. Hope your DS's eye is okay!

 

[Bonnie and Kona]

Eye injury? Now that is scary! Hoping your DS is improving. A doodle toe can wait till tomorrow for sure.

Truly, I do know that covering the eye/cornea makes for the difference between unbearable and not too bad. Corneal injuries can heal fast and I hope his does.
