Sausage got a boo boo last night. He went running up his dog ramp at warp speed excited to get a treat but he lost his balance, causing the nail on his right toe to get caught on the wood, bending it sideways and outward. Next thing I know, there is blood all over my comforter and he’s limping around…but still begging for his treat. Luckily it didn’t seem to cause him any pain. I gave him some benedryl to make him sleep so he wouldn’t walk around on it. This morning I whisked him up to the vet where they just clipped the long part of the inverted nail, hoping it will grow out enough until the crooked part will fall off. Right now the crooked nail is too attached to his actual toe and he would need to be sedated to have it surgically removed. It was a freak accident, really. **Sigh** While there, they put Sausage on the scale and I was shocked to see he weighs a whopping 27.5 pounds!! Up 4 pounds from his previously svelte 23.3 lb weigh in. Needless to say, someone has to go on a diet.....and they aren’t going to like it.

Oh poor guy!!! That happened to our Meimei a couple of weeks ago. She didn't even bat an eye about it. Tough little troopers!
Too bad about the diet though....he's not going to be happy about that :)

Bless his little peanut heart! I accidentally cut one of Dozer's toenails too short one time and it bled like a mutha. I can't imagine what a gusher Pugsley had!
Hope it gets better soon!
