No, Bailey does not do the scratch dance, although Guinness does. THe only problem I can see is that if he put a bandage on it, she would eat the bandage. Well, not eat it, but tear it to shreds.

I mean, the way the vet talks, they make it sound like "quicking it" would be a relatively minor thing, like somebody cutting her nail too short or something. Although, I can already tell a difference in her nail. It's not the same color as her other nails. They are sort of pinkish white, but this nail is starting to turn grayish white. I don't think it's infected, but like I said, the pulpy part seems a bit seperated from the nail, which is why I think it is changing color.

God, I am so glad Rocky is ok, but I so hope that Bailey doesn't have to go through this for months. I hope if we have them "quick it", it will heal in a week.

We can't really watch her all day. We keep the two of them crated for about 6 hours a day, with a half hour break around lunchtime. I feel like she would mess with it if we left her to her own devices. Maybe we could get them to wrap it and we could put one of those conehead collars on her while she is in the crate.

Oh, and by the way, we can't put a boot on her foot. She growls and struggles and nips if we even try.
