Just like people, dogs occasionally break their toes. Broken toes may not be as obviously seen as larger broken bones in the body are but there are still things dog owners need to do to ensure a broken toe heals properly.
How do I know if my dog sprained his toe?
- Excessive licking on joints or legs.
- Limping.
- Loss of appetite.
- Pain.
- Reddened joints.
- Reluctance to put weight on paw or limb.
- Swollen joints.
- Swollen paws.
