I'm sorry to hear about your pup's broken toe—it must be quite concerning for you. Broken toes in dogs can happen for a variety of reasons, like an accidental twist, getting the toe caught on something, or even things like rough play. It sounds like you're already taking great steps by seeing the vet.
At home, it’s important to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Try to limit their activity; short, slow walks and discouraging jumping will help prevent further injury. If your vet provided a splint or bandage, make sure it stays clean and dry. If you notice any swelling, redness, or foul odor coming from the bandage, give your vet a call, as these might be signs of infection.
Also, keep an eye out for any changes in your dog's behavior like persistent limping, whining, reluctance to eat, or lethargy. These could indicate that your dog is in pain or that the injury isn't healing as it should.
Feel free to reach out for a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet if you have any more questions or if you notice any of these concerns. It’s always better to catch potential issues early. Take care, and I hope your pup is back on all four paws soon!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
