kendalyn Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Were they black before now? I've never heard of a dog's claws turning colors but I don't know much about that. I hope Gladis feels better soon! Let us know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 good question kendlyn... what color were the nails before they changed colors?

Rowie-the-Pooh Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Okay, from what I know about [b]humans[/b], nails grow faster when your sick. Thats to get rid of uneeded elements or something, I don't know. Anyway, I know that when [i]I'm[/i] sick my nails are weak, pale and when I lack calcium they have those little white streaks across them. Maybe the same can be applied for dogs??

mouseatthebusstop Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 thanks Rowie that sounds like a good expanation they were dark before we got the results back today from her operation the polyp is non-cancerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Great news about the polyp being benign! :D I hope Gladis is feeling better soon. I honestly haven't heard of colour changes in nails before but as Rowie says it could be her nails growing quicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 arghh it wouldn't let me post more than a few lines. Just wanted to add to Rowie- those wee lines are deficiency in zink (i know its spelt with a c at the end but it wont let me post that word!) :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
