My beloved boy has hurt his claw. On lead exercise and anti bs. Vet is saying either a local or general to remove claw is one possibility. I know greyhounds need special treatment round general anaesthetic. Any good sound sources of info I should give vet?

Claw is not bothering him so removal seems a bit ott but I may be wrong.

No horror stories please. My nerves can't take it :-)

Hi all

Thanks for all your expertise. Felt much more confident about facing possibility of GA. As it turns out vet thinks best to let claw fall off naturally rather than do an op but at least I know now if we face a similar situation.
