Hello,

I have my sister in laws staffy for a couple of days. He has, which looks like a split toe nail. Im aware he did it last monday. He's not limping but i can see it is affecting him. He is constantly licking it. he is walking around and playing with my staffy but he stops to lick it every few minutes. I have wrapped it to avoid him licking it but then he will not move, and he took it off last night anyway.
Any recommendations. Is it a vet job? or will it heal on its own? Thank you

Keep it clean and it should regrow all by itself.  Smile

You might want to wash it after walks with a mild salt solution. Is it the Dew claw ?.. If so, this is pretty common.
