Ok--I cleaned it out, as best I could, put on the syptic gel, and put a bootie on her paw to keep dirt out.
I called the vet, and of course, got the tech, and not Dr. Ritchie, but anyway, she said what I did was fine, and that they'll probably want to see her anyway, maybe to clean it out and bandage it up if need be. She will also take off the rest of the nail if she has too--I'm afraid to do that myself.
I'm concerned about infection, so I would like the vet to clean it out properly, because she did run outside after she did it, before I got the bootie on her.
One more thing, what can I give her, if anything, for pain.
She's an 80lb rottweiler--I would think a children's dose of tylenol or whatever would be ok???
