Unfortunately Reggie hasn't had the best birthday. We're not exactly sure what happened, but somehow while outside he ripped his nail. Marc didn't realize it before heading out to PetSmart with the girls today and when he got home... there was a little surprise all over the living room floor. BLOOD. (after putting out a frantic FaceBook status, I learned that club soda or peroxide will pull the blood out... it works. Thank goodness, not sure what we would have done otherwise).
After a bit of investigation, he realized that Reggie ripped his nail. He was able to wrap it, and work on cleaning carpets. When I got home from work, I got him over to the vet.
Tomorrow, Reggie needs to be put under to have the nail cut and repaired, as they have to go all the way down to where the nail begins. He will spend the day at the vet and spend the weekend at home recooperating.
And us... this is Reggie's most expensive birthday present ever! We're talking the tune of close to $600. OUCH! Bad timing, but it's part of our responsibility as pet owners.
Anyways, happy birthday buddy. We sure are glad you are part of our family!
