Title: Darwin.....again! (Claw question)
Post by: JackSpratt on February 19, 2010, 12:16:24 PM

Ok, it appears that Darwin has managed to pull one of his front claws off. (Owww; how he did that and showed no sign I have no idea.) It appears to be sore but other than that fine. What am I supposed to do?! :scared:

I would just keep an eye on it  for now.  If it starts to swell or he starts limping then straight off to the vet.

After wrestling the little man it transpires he does have his claw and it's a cut on his pad. No doubt digging for worms caused it. Have cleaned it and will keep a watch on it. :) Thanks Sam, I know you have a soft spot for him. ;)
