The dog injured himself yesterday at the dog park. He was being extra rambunctious. He changed directions a little too fast and broke one of his toe nails. The nail is cracked but not too severely damaged. We went home as soon as I saw him bleeding. He wasn't limping until this morning when he seemed like an old man. He didn't follow me from room to room as usual.
I took him to the vet and we talked about removing the nail but the vet thinks it will heal on its own. He scared me a little by telling me that if the nail is damaged more there might be lots of blood but Riley is in no danger of bleeding to death.
This is a shot of the painkillers they gave us. They're Riley's new favorite treat!
