Hi guys,

I need some input here. My BB has very short claws on his front paws and because his brother has ED in both his legs and already had to have surgery, I was wondering if the short claws could be an indication that my dog has the same problem? His brother had short claws on the one leg that he had to have surgery on. I will attach a photo and maybe some of you have experience and can give me some input.

 

Thank you

Hi Matina, I've had big dogs most of my life. ED you can sometimes see with a offset in the elbow joint or slight bulge, but again doesn't mean 100% of the time it's a problem. With the 2 middle toenails much shorter does suggest dragging of that leg. Watch his walk if he's dragging one or both legs better get him checked. X rayed, keep him light in weight but healthy and start joint supplements with msm it can help repair some joint damage, it's not a cure but helps greatly. Peace and good luck to you. Lee

obsessive Water drinking

Our 12 week old Boerboel wants to drink water - she has had a urinary infection that we have been treating.. but this is crazy... she searches for mud puddles, rain, condensation... drinks until she is miserable and burping then lays around and pees... potty training is near impossible as she is more interested in water than life... ANY IDEAS? See More
