[QUOTE=gaia_bear;2665726]Super glue won't hurt her? I do have some Epsom salts and will soak it.


Super glue is safe for the nails, that is what artificial nail glue is and also the same ingredients in the paint on artificial skin products which is why it burns so good on blisters and such.

I lucked out with a dog who loves the bath tub so we chilled out in there. Hopefully something can be done, all my luck she'll get it caught on something and make it worse. I can't see her keeping it wrapped for very long.

Good to know about the super glue, I actually have some nail glue so will resort to that if the vet is a no go.

So we went to the vet and all is well. I didn't think to look at the under side of the paw and how it split just left the quick exposed. The vet filed it down for me (the hanging piece) so it doesn't get caught and just told me to keep an eye on her. Thanks for the help and calming me down after my freak out.
