Hi All,

I'm hopign one of you will be able to shed some light on this. Picked up my puppy within the last few days and have just noticed that she is limping.

Her one paw seems completely different to the rest, the nails don't appear to be ocming through and it is really swollen. Please see pictures attached - do you think this is ingrowing nails that can be sorted or it is a defect from birth? Shall I go to the vet?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, vet. Given the current situation, though, I would send your vet photos and speak on the phone rather than going in - they will be able to tell you if something needs to be done sooner rather than later.
