Hello,
I typically don’t see these appointments ending up as an emergency issue. I have had one dog who needed intensive care for tetanus after a nail was trimmed too short and the nail bed was bleeding. This is however very rare.
In almost all cases these heal with minimal veterinary treatment but it is important to not let the pet lick the area and keep it clean and dry.
I cannot tell you whether it needs veterinary attention. I always have to err on the side of caution and recommend a veterinary visit.
Best of luck.
Krista.
Hello,
The answer to why this might be happening lies in an examination with your veterinarian. I worry about heart disease in boxers. I also worry about hemoabdomen. Gum color, abdominal palpitation, heart and lungs need to listened to and an orthopedic and neurological examination are needed. This has the potential of being an emergency.
Thank you I am at the emergency vet now as he started seizing as well.
