Nail Fell Out
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2020 1:46 am
One of my old boys nails fell out today. It seems like it happened a few hours before i noticed, appears to fallen right off or possibly torn off. No stuck shed, healthy toes, but the end of the toe where the nail used to be has a decent amount of dried blood on it.
First time it's ever happened for him.
Anything i should do with the open wound? sadly it appears like it happened a few hours ago, it doesn't appear to be paining him too much, not stressed or aggressive. I am somewhat worried about a possible infection, my exotics vet is closed due to COVID-19 and its evident that you can't bandage up a blueys foot. Would giving him a shallow bath to maybe clean out the toe tip be a decent idea?
