Question
The groomer accidently cut Lexi's nail too short,it's black and she is sore can not walk properly, will she be ok? and how long does she has to stay off her feet?

Answer

Hi Sally,

Your dog will make a full recovery, and suffer no ill effects from her recent nail clipping.

You don't need to take special efforts to keep Lexi off of her feet, if she' having discomfort she'll limp. Lexi may limp, or favor the one paw for a day or so, but soon after that she'll be her old self again.

Best of luck,
Patti
