What The Sit LLC

Mention even the small things to your vet.

Over the summer I noticed Roos nails started to grow thicker but also more brittle. I thought it was weird but also thought maybe it was because she was getting a little bit older and I wasn’t trimming her nails quite as often as I used to.

In August, she lost a nail and it grew back a little deformed.

Fast forward to the last few weeks she started limping intermittently and choosing to withdraw and spend more time in her kennel. So we went to the vet. She had been given a preliminary diagnosis of Lupoid Onychodystrophy, and is starting treatment to get her walking more comfortably.

Something as simple as “weird looking nails” was the first sign of an issue.

So, lesson learned. NOTHING is too small worth mentioning to your vet.
