I adopted an 8 month old Malamute just a couple of days ago from someone who could not take care of him. I just realized tonight that one of his nails on his front paw was almost completely torn off. It was only hanging on by a thread, literally. He had not been favoring it at all. It did not bleed. So we gently clipped the remaining bit of the nail off and realized the quick is dried up inside. Mind you it was pretty much his entire nail. We washed it very well. What else can we do to prevent infection? and is this issue with the quick normal?
