We thought it may have been a cracked nail, so he took his first visit to the local vet. They kindly gave him a jab of MetaCam, which is like Calpol for kids. It was enough to give him a good sleep, but still something was not right. It was pretty swollen, clearly he was labouring some pain and perhaps he had broken the bone. He checked out ok, so back home for the weekend.

It seemed to be ok, but Bo came off his food for the weekend, and spent time nursing his wounds in his crate. Nothing bad happens there.
