Clipping a Dog's Broken Toenail

Dogs’ toenails will often break on their own, learn what to do when your dog has a broken toenail, in this free pet health care video with tips from a veterinarian.

It’s not uncommon for a dog to break a toenail. It most often occurs when you trim his nails with clippers, but accidents can cause the toenail to break as well. Since the toenail is likely to bleed a lot, you need to take action right away.

  • Stop the bleeding. A dog’s nail is going to bleed a lot when it’s broken. Simply holding a bandage over it usually won’t make it stop. Instead, use a coagulant to pack the wound. Substances that can be used include flour, powder, cornstarch or a styptic powder.
  • Get an over the counter antibiotic cream to place over the broken nail. A generous amount should be applied in order to prevent infection and promote healing.
  • Put a bandage over the area. You can secure the bandage using vet or surgical tape. The area should not be wrapped too tightly and cut off circulation.
  • Cover the bandage with a sock. The sock is used to protect the area and keep the dog from trying to get at the wound. Since the sock is not likely to stay in place on its own, you may have to use more vet tape.
  • Keep a close eye on the dog for the next few days. If the nail does not seem to heal or the dog starts limping, you should make an appointment with the vet.
  • In order to prevent future broken nails, you should learn about how to properly cut a dog’s nails. A vet can let you know how to do it, or you can read a dog care handbook.
  • If your dog is in pain from the broken toenail, you’ll need to have someone hold him or use a muzzle during treatment.

Veterinarians Need To Be Included In Proposition 2 Implementation

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) thanks the citizens of California for taking the time to consider and vote on Proposition 2. Now that it’s passed, extra care-and the advice of veterinarians and animal welfare scientists-must be employed to ensure its implementation doesn’t hurt the animals it’s intended to help.

“It was encouraging to see voters in California take such an interest in animal welfare,” says Dr. Ron DeHaven, CEO of the AVMA. “Now that the ballot initiative has passed, veterinarians and animal welfare scientists must be involved in its implementation to make sure that resulting changes in animal housing actually improve conditions for the animals they are intended to help. If we’re not careful, animal health and welfare problems could be precipitated that are as significant as the concerns Proposition 2 aspires to address.

  • Vet Software Review: VIA, the Veterinary Information Assistant
    In order to manage the overwhelming volume of data a hospital generates, veterinarians had to rely upon software to function as cash registers and treatment reminder systems. It includes detailed medical records, accurate inventory, precise financial books, organized schedules. Nowadays, it is not difficult anymore, VIA has it. VIA™, the Veterinary Information Assistant, is a leading practice management solution that allows veterinarians to stay in control of their critical medical, financial, and back-office information.  VIA is medically oriented software that uses hospital workflow concepts to improve operating efficiencies, staff communication, and patient care. VIA logoWith VIA you can stay on top of your critical information to improve productivity and the financial performance of your hospital, such as: Generate graphical treatment flowsheets that automatically capture fees; Eliminate missed charges through medically driven invoicing; Use electronic whiteboards to monitor hospitalized patient treatment tasks; Improve client relations, employee satisfaction, and operating efficiency; View Digital Radiographs and transmit orders to DICOM radiology equipment; Capture handwritten notes, drawings, and consent signatures; Access your information from home to review medical cases and finances, etc. The Accounts section provides access to all information related to your client accounts: client and patient files, medical notes, medical history, estimates, invoices, and transaction history. vet-software-screenshot Patient medical history can be viewed by individual office visit, enabling you to quickly scan all reasons for visit to drill down on a specific case.  The Preview Pane improves readability by automatically displaying pertinent medical information.  SOAP notes, images, video, services, drug labels, lab graphs, and vaccine information are previewed as you scroll, eliminating unnecessary clicks to see attachments.  History can be filtered, for instance, to compare lab results from several visits at once. With VIA’s SOAP notes (Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan) you can document every action that occurs during a patient visit, from the initial client communications to your final diagnoses and plan, as well as store vitals, physical exams, invoiced charges, digital images, sound, and video. vet-software-screenshot2 Up until now, this type of detailed information took valuable time to record either in handwritten notes or on a computer.  VIA streamlines that process by allowing you to define key phrases, abnormalities, and examination parameters, so you can generate precise, thorough medical notes with only a few clicks of the mouse. VIA provides an industry first DICOM compliant solution that integrates billing, modality worklist request, PACS querying, and image viewing, all from within your practice management system.  VIA’s DICOM Communication and Imaging module allows for seamless integration with Digital Radiography, Computed Radiography, Ultrasound, MRI, and other imaging modalities and PACS (picture archiving and communications) systems. vet-software-screenshot3 Generate image study requests and review completed studies.  Access high resolution DICOM images directly from a patient’s medical history.  Use VIA’s image enhancement tools to view both bone and soft tissue from a single image.  View images from any workstation in your hospital.  Compare and contrast historical cases by querying the PACS archive.  Electronically transfer your images for consultation with a specialist or colleague. VIA is a complete management system, with functionality encompassing user security to advanced data querying and backup capabilities. VIA is completely problem oriented with the medical record in a SOAP format. It is versatile; can be used by the computer illiterate, but can be customized up to the computer savvy. VIA Safe WebThe new feature is VIA Safe™. VIA Safe™ is the automated online backup service by Sound-Eklin that creates a secure, off-site backup of your VIA™ Practice Management System every day. VIA Safe utilizes your internet connection to automatically send a backup of your hospital data to a secure, off-site data center.  VIA Safe creates an encrypted, incremental backup of your data every day and runs completely unattended. You will receive email notifications from VIA Safe to inform you when a backup has occurred or if a problem was encountered. The powerful Data Mining tool lets you perform database queries  across all of your medical, financial, and clinical data.  Analyze data to spot trends, relate medical cases, find your highest and lowest revenue clients, and generate any type of search you desire.  vet-software-screenshot4You can even search for medical pictures, radiographs, or ultrasound images.  Search variables can be memorized for later use, and information exported directly to Microsoft Excel for further analysis. Reviewing financial transactions is a snap using VIA’s Financial Registers.  Just choose a financial account and a date range and all transactions linked to that account appear.  Simply click on any transaction to view or edit it and your books are instantly recalculated and updated.
