megan_ Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I was brushing my mini schnauzer x poodle this afternoon when I noticed that some of his nails were split. I don't know if it is related, but his paw pads were very rough too. He is fed a combination of Eagle Pack Holistic Salmon and Raw (mainly chicken wings, some lamb flaps and necks, Omega Blend, yoghurt etc). Is this something that warrant a vert visit? Will the splitting nails hurt him? Thanks, Megan edit: spelling that would put GSD Mummy to shame Edited March 27, 2009 by megan_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 If it is affecting more than one nail, I would visit the vet. I posted recently in another thread that symmetrical lupoid onychodystrophy, which is characterised by split and broken nails, is a condition that can affect poodles. A cross might also be affected.
