Question

My dog’s thumb nail grew into her paw and it’a red and swollen. What should we do? And how much will it cost? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 10 lbs

Poor Coco! You will need to take her into the vet to have the nail cut, the area cleaned, and antibiotics as well as pain medication prescribed. The exam visit alone will likely be between $45-$55, but if they need to sedate her, that will be an additional cost as well as the medications. The vet can give you an estimate when they see her. Best of luck.
