If a horse has a nail in his sole, he has a high risk of infection. Below the sole is living tissue. A nail could have introduced dirt and bacteria into the hoof. Consult with a professional such as your veterinary practitioner.
No. Not as a sole responsibility
Call the vet and the farrier (if he didn't know he did it). Since the nail will carry bacteria with it (imagine how dirty the sole is that the nail was pounded thru) and the quick is a very sterile environment you don't want to take any chances. I don't think it's safe to self treat it. No hoof, no horse.
you should re-shoe your horse around every 6 weeks or if you notice craking around the nail in the hoove or if the hoove has grown too much and it spreading out over the shoe.
For want of a nail the show is lost, for what of a show the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost, is part of a famous quote. This quote was by Benjamin Franklin.
well a horses hoof is the same as our toe nail
Yearly, with a booster as needed, such as in the case of an injury, like stepping on a nail, when a horse is at greater risk of contracting tetanus.
You find a girl near the log cabin with a horse. She will ask you to get a nail out of her horse's hoove. After talking to Kyle, go in the barn to get the pliers. Once the nail is out she will give you the heart shaped locket.
Dark red should do it.
If you are just excerisng your Horse/Pony in the arena, dismount immediately, and lead your horse out to untack him and call the farrier. If you are on a Hack and you are far from home, use your mobile phone to call anybody you know with a horse box to come and pick you up, then phone the farrier. Never continue to ride a horse if it has thrown a shoe, is is most likely to damage the hoof more severly. You need to make sure that the shoe is completely off and that there are no punture wounds on the sole or frog of the foot from the nail. If the shoe is still partially attached you need to completely remove it, which may require a pair of shoe pullers. You should keep a well fitting boot on the hoof to protect the bare foot until the farrier is able to see your horse. If you are riding, walk the horse back to the barn, don't ride.
To care for the nail bed after losing a nail, you should use medication or a bacterial fighting solution to cleanse the exposed area. Next, a bandaged should be wrapped around the nail bed to stem the bleeding and it should be regularly changed until it heals.
Should it be with a nail clipper.
How are up the finger did the nail break?If the hamster broke a tiny chip of nail, it will heal on it's own. If the hamster broke the nail into pink area of the nail, you should bring it to the vet for medicine. If the hamster broke the whole nail off, you definitely need to bring it to the vet!
