My dog had his toe nail torn off. Will it grow back? When?

It will grow back, no need to worry.


If its just the toenail that was torn off and there isnt a huge wound it doesnt need to be wrapped up- Just dont let your dog play in mud. He needs to be kept fairly clean. You can rub a little neosporin to help the pain and fight bacteria on the toenail area.





Nails take b/w 3 to 4 months to grow back. But youll start


seeing signs of it growing back/healing within a week or so.





P.S. someone suggested giving the dog milk. So wrong. Dogs like cats often dont process milk very well, especially adult dogs. Nails are made up of proteins, calcium wouldnt help the nail grow faster.My dog had his toe nail torn off. Will it grow back? When?
Sure !! It will !! Clean the area s few times a day !! Keep wrapped in steril gauze !! %26amp; STAY OFF OF THE uh'mm paw !! May need something called a SPLINT for about a week [5/7]days!?!Pour a little MILK in its water or FOOD !?! The calcium should help healing time !?! It just might EAT the bandage !?! lol%26lt;G/L%26gt;~!!`'R';r.r`r'r,`r,'.My dog had his toe nail torn off. Will it grow back? When?
I think it should. it is the same if the nail on person's hand is get torn off..


it will eventually.. for a person it takes quite a long time, don't know about dogs.. cause they have all the processes running faster including new cell formation.


hope your dog feels fine, tho )
