On tuesday night my dog started limping during a bite work session. I put him up after that. By wed morning he had a very slight gimp to him so I didn't bother going to the vet and figured I'd just rest him. No real exercise since working on Tuesday.

There was still a very slight gimp to him on and off on thurs and nothing yesterday. This morning when I went to work him, he jump out of the truck and started limping - no weight on his back gimp leg. Now I thought it was serious but a bunch of us checked him out. Nothing in the knee or hip... it's all in his foot. Upon closer inspection one of the guys noticed one of his nails is completely split open. His back nails are very short to begin with and this one is almost gone.

How do I treat this? Rest? Wrap?
