Why is my dog's nail bed red and oozing pus? What should I do?

Question

Redness and pus coming out from my dog nail bed, what happen?

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

It's likely she either slightly torn the nail at the base and now it's infected or she got a puncture wound which is now infected. I recommend to have your pup examined by the veterinarian. Have her wear an elizabethan collar at all times to prevent licking. Avoid further trauma. I hope this helps.
