Question

its like a loose tooth

pleeeeeeeeeease help!

Answer 1

She may have got it caught on a rock or something. Make sure it's not infected (swollen, discharge, bloody) and if it's not, I'd say she'll be ok. Don't pull it off or anything, it'll probably fall off on its own. If it looks sore and infected, take her to a vet asap! The infection may spread and end up costing her a foot or even an entire leg.

Best of luck to your injured beauty! =(
