<p>Update:</p>
<p>So we chickened out. We started to address the toe with the nail clippers and she was yelping like we were killing her before we even got close. I decided this was definitely a job for the vet because I was also too nervous. I'm sure Leia was feeding off my nervous energy too. I love our vet and have so much confidence in them to do what is best for my pets. Since Dustin was off work this morning, we were able to get a vet appointment for both the dog and the cat. Sam…</p>

Sam and Leia are great! They clipped the nail and wrapped it in a purple bandage to match our LSU colors that Leia so dearly loves ;) Thanks to all of you for all of your advice, I feel that we were able to make a very informed decision and handle the situation properly. Thanks again everyone! Here is a pic of her at the vet afterwards.</p>

yes be VERY careful if you wrap it! If you do decide to wrap it, change the wrap daily DO NOT LEAVE IT ON. Don't let it get wet. Most bandages you put on aren't going to stay on anyway so you won't have to worry about it. They have a habit of slipping and coming off. Frank has tore his toenail 3 times, once completely off, once it was at a funny angle, and the last time he damaged it but it still was at a normal angle.

Frank has tore his toenail 3 times, once completely off, once it was at a funny angle, and the last time he damaged it but it still was at a normal angle. Twice I took him to the vet for treatment, lots of $$$ later and all they did was cut the toenail flush with the toe, no pain meds or anything. I think it'd be fine to wait until your appointment on Saturday just make sure you don't play fetch or any games that will rip the toenail all the way off and make sure to stabilize it until your appointment. The 3rd time Franklin damaged his toenail I just left it and the nail did not fall off, it is still damaged looking and it looks like the nail is no longer living/growing.....maybe from being torn off so many times (all 3 times were the same nail!). If she does end up tearing it all the way off some flour, cornstarch, or quic stop will do the trick to stop the bleeding, and they do bleed A LOT. <br/> Anytime, just pay it forward…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-05-19:1150197:Comment:10457782011-05-19T22:19:58.010ZSam Tsanghttp://mycorgi.com/profile/ceo

Do NOT get it too tight. If it swells and impedes circulation, you'll have a real problem.

<p>Hi Lindsey, it'll be difficult to remove the nail and keep Leia still all by yourself, you may want to just tape it for now. Go to Walgreens / walmart and look for "hurt-free wrap" or "vet wrap"and telfa pad.</p>
