Hello there! It sounds like you're dealing with something concerning regarding your pup's paw, and I’m here to help guide you through it.
Toe amputations in dogs can be necessary for various reasons, such as severe infections, trauma, tumors, or persistent pain due to arthritis. I know it might sound daunting, but often these procedures help improve comfort and mobility for your dog.
Post-amputation, you can keep your furry friend comfortable at home by ensuring they have a quiet, clean area to rest. Minimize their activity to prevent stress on the surgical site and offer them plenty of love and gentle care. Pain management is crucial, and your vet will provide guidance on medication.
Watch for signs of trouble like excessive swelling, redness, discharge, or if your dog seems to be in persistent discomfort. A fever or loss of appetite can also indicate an infection or complication.
It’s important to keep an eye on their recovery, and if you notice anything concerning or have questions about the process, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We can give you the reassurance and advice you need—right from the comfort of your home.

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
