Flash had an accident - paw injury

This morning, Dylan and Flash chased after a fox in the country park. When Flash came back, he had a bleeding paw. It didn't look too bad, we walked home, I washed it off and cleaned and disinfected it. As Flash had a nail bed infection before that wouldn't clear, I thought it best to pop him into Mark's to get some antibiotics.

Mark said that he needed a stitch in there as the wound was quite deep and that he wanted to do an x-ray to check whether there was any damage to the bone.

Well, when I called, I was informed that the wound was much more serious than first expected. Flash somehow managed to cut right in, through ligaments and the nerve. It is so bad that he might lose the toe if it doesn't heal properly.

Poor old Flash! I came home from work early to pick him up from the vets and Flash has been sleeping since then. He did however eat his dinner just now and looks more comfortable. He is due back at the vet's on Saturday to change the dressing.
