The Injury


















Poor Eli.

Last night, Eli ripped his "toe" nail in half either while playing or while out on a walk. L-Dawg bandaged it and brought him to the vet today where they took one look and said, "This is going to be bad." And it was. They had to nip his nail off and part of his little "toe". They said it was the equivalent of snipping off the end of a human pinky finger!
So they held him down and snipped. It was bad.
He cried, he fought, he bled, he peed all over the table and the vet techs because he was so afraid and desperate to escape.
But it will be okay and Eli will recover and grow a new pinky dog toe tip. In the meantime, he's spending a good deal of time trying to get his purple bandage off so it's been covered up with a teeny, tiny sock. Which he also hates. Poor Eli.
