Some of you are aware that our Giant Schnauzer Bailey has a toenail condition called Lupoid Onychodystrophy also knows as Lupus. It is a very painful disease for her where her toenail actually falls off and leaves just the quick in place. It happens on every single one of her toenails and they sometimes become infected. Last year one was so infected that they actually did an amputation on her toe. I've been watching one of her toenails as she has been licking it excessively to see how it has been doing. She had an appointment today to have her hair cut and when I took her to the Groomers they pulled back her hair and there was some seapage from the nailbed. They advised that they couldn't clip her because of this, which I understood. So I decided because of the seapage coming from the nail she was going to the Vet today. The Vet we took her today was a recommendation from the Groomer and was very good. They gave her some antibiotics which will hopefully clear up her nail. She is getting up there in age and is also on Thyroid Medication. We are hoping that she still has a few good years left in her!!
