Here is an excellent article about what to do for a fingernail injury. You need to read it and decide what works for you.:

Also check out Yahoo health. Type in "fingernail injury" and there will be a lot of help there.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Many vets propose that you come back in so as that they could reduce the nail all the long in the past (very painful, even though it makes the therapeutic procedure less demanding on the canines because the little pink stub of a short isn't being banged round at the same time as it really is heeling). in case your vet isn't worried about it although, then i'd do what they propose and save an eye fixed on it to make effective it really is not getting contaminated. attempt to save his mouth off of it in case you may (toddler socks paintings correct for some canines, or you ought to attempt bitter apple or a similar product). Epsom salts can help as well as discomfort meds (call your vet for options and doses in the previous giving over-the-counter discomfort meds your self). now and again the nail grows again and frequently it would not. it would also boost again yet no longer seem everyday compared to the different nails. It quite relies upon on the guy canines and the position/what the wear and tear is.

You can buy a finger guard in the first aide section of the pharmacy. It would help protect your finger from bumps and such. Be very careful and keep the nail trimed as close as possible. It will have to grow off and that will take time. There is nothing you can do about the violet color. That too will resolve in time.

What? I didn't understand most of that..(?).. from what I did understand, you broke your nail and tried to bandage it to keep it from breaking further down? then, you called you doc and she said it'll take some time to heal..right?
Well, I think your doctor is right,... injuries do take time to heal and it's a real pain (literally) having to wait for this to happen. It's probably "normal" for the violet color as, when we injure ourselves, we tend to bruise. If you're that concerned, see your doc. again! And, do yourself a BIG favor, do NOT paint the nail or try and fill it with a false nail, ok?.. at least until it stops hurting and you're sure there's no infection present. You can cause a very big infection and nobody wants that, right? For now, soak it in salt-water,.. that's one tablespoon of salt to about 4 cups of warm water... about 3-4 times per day...

is the nail itself still slightly attatched? if so, what I do, is use a whole lot of nailpolish to kind of adhere it back together until it grows out enough to rip it out all the way.

Try and get a new finger. U can find them for less than an arm & a leg.

Protect it and let it heal. Nothing you can really do other than eat right. (Plenty of vit. C and zinc [meats])
