That has happened to my pup. Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t get infected. Beside that limit activities where they may use the claw (grabbing onto stuff). It should heal up in a few week.

Ended up taking her to the vet and having them cut it off. It was looking a bit weepy and inflamed. Didn’t want to risk it. They wrapped it too.

Good to hear. Best wishes to you and your pup!

Oh no, what happened there?
Not entirely sure to be honest! I think it happened Monday, I came home, she was excited to see me, jumped up to greet me, came down and landed on one of the boots by the door. She yelped, but I didn’t think anything of it because she didn’t hold her paw or limp or anything, but she wouldn’t leave it alone on Tuesday, so the vet removed it Wednesday for us
That's wild, sounds like a freak accident. Glad she got it taken care of. Just gotta keep it clean and I'm sure she'll bounce back up in no time. We've had to deal with a few paw injuries ourselves but nothing a serious. They're just too wild sometimes.
