Question

My dog's nail started with white spots and know is breaking. Is it some kind of fungus? What's the treatment? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 5 years and 3 months old | 46 lbs

Those lesions could indicate a fungus but it could also indicate a previous split nail that is not healing properly. I recommend to have Fiona examined by the veterinarian to have this addressed. Split nails generally need to be clipped behind the break so they grow out properly. I hope this helps.
