Poor Gracie

On Tuesday night, Gracie somehow ripped off her toenail, where the entire quick was exposed. It was right after the vet closed, so I called an emergency clinic, just to make sure we didn't need to bring her in. They said she was fine, but to watch it and if it got worse bring her to the vet in the morning.

Of course Wednesday we had all sorts of appointments planned: dr., dmv, etc. all of which take way longer than they should. We didn't want to leave Gracie at home all day, so David took her in that morning and we left her at the vet for the day ensuring she was supervised. When I picked her up, she had a bandaged foot, pain meds, antibiotics, and a cone...poor thing.

The worst part of the whole thing is we were set to go out of town Friday morning and she was scheduled to stay at a kennel. David had to run to the vet before we left so they could remove the bandage and check her foot. We told the kennel what had happened, and we left her cone so she wouldn't be able to lick her foot all day and night.

Thankfully everything went smoothly, and it seems to be healing nicely. We also seem to be cone free, which is a very good thing ;)
