Cracked / Detached Dewclaw Nail
Post Body

My boy has a slightly cracked / detached nail from the quick on his front dewclaw.

I trimmed the nail the best I could for now and I’m planning on rinsing it with a saline spray. Is there recommended ointment I can put on it to help prevent an infection? I was planning on gently wrapping it in a non stick bandage and some self adhesive tape.

My vet said I would have to bring him in and most likely would need to be put under to have the dewclaw removed which to me seems pretty excessive.

Curious if there’s any way to avoid the vet visit and if it could heal on its own. Obviously if it’s unavoidable I will certainly take him.
