I got Johnnie out of her cage last night while I was cleaning it and I noticed she's started shedding, so I brushed her out. As I was brushing her, I noticed she had one really long nail. Long story short, I went ahead and trimmed all the nails, I noticed blood afterwards, got the quik-stop, yada yada... Noticed the nail was broken all the way to the foot! The reason it looked so long was because it was sticking at an odd angle from being broken. It wasn't bleeding bad, so I trimmed it down to where it was broken at, a little at a time in case it started to bleed because I know they can bleed to death like that. I put quik stop on the toe to keep it from bleeding. I know I need to take her to the vet because she probably needs antibiotics, but do you think she can wait until Monday? I hate going to the vet on the weekends because they don't take appointments and you're in the waiting room with all the barking dogs and she gets so stressed out.
