Need your expert advice - My dog needs help
Jack was to the vet 2 weeks ago. Had his nails clipped and one was clipped too close and bled. The vet stopped the bleeding and Jack came home but was acting very different. Didn't want to play as usual or jump into bed with me at night. Noticed he was licking his paw a lot. Didn't think anything of it until last Tuesday, I found blood on the bed where he was laying. Grabbed a washcloth and held it on his paw and blood was on it. Turned the paw over and saw blood coming from the nail that was clipped 2 weeks prior. Called vet and immediately took Jack there where they took no responsibility for the injury and said Jack had broken a nail all the way back. Told me I could nurse him myself or bring him back where they would sedate him and clip the nail back before the break and bandage him. Jack will be 11 and I was afraid for the latter treatment. I had been putting liquid bandage on it and watched closely then last night blood all over the carpet and Jack was indeed in pain. I bandaged the wound and then again this morning before I left for work.
Anyone have advice or suggestions of how to treat at home?
