What to do with Dew Claws?


Recommended Posts

Thanks for that. No discomfort, so I will just keep an eye on them.

 

 

You're welcome! Be mindful that removing dew claws is quite painful and not a minor surgery. You are in fact amputating a toe, even if the toe is not entirely functional. So unless it's a medical necessity, I would not advise messing with them. Just keep the claws themselves tidily trimmed. :)

This was really handy to read.

I think my girl has inured hers today. Claw is in tact, but it does appear to be bent backwards.

Took a while to notice it, and I think shes done it chasing her ball in the garden. 

She doesn't let me near it at the moment, but normally loves a leg/foot massage 

She has looked uncomfortable with it when lying down, but will still pester you to throw a ball. 

Vets tomorrow morning I think xxx
