Bullet87 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not about my BC, but thought I would gather some advice. My Blue Heeler (3 yr old) gets cracked nails on his front paws frequently. I keep his nails trimmed as well as he runs so much that most of the time he wears his own nails down. Perhaps this is the problem? But... He runs on grass and dirt not concrete or asphalt... Could it be a sign of some vitamin deficiency? The nail also cracks up the side, usually just past where the quick area starts, and flakes off. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Could it be a sign of some vitamin deficiency? Possible, in that case try biotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rua Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 might also wanna try some bag balm or other hoof softeners. We always kept a tin about the place (which reminds me we dont have any atm).. works wonders on nails and all sorts. There was a brand we always used but i cant remember name of it.. came in a drk green tin.. MAN did that stuff make my nails nice.. worked well on the burros hooves too =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
