Artie cracked a toenail. It can be very dangerous if we let this go. So a good goal for today is file down the nail. Foot. Artie's going through musth right now. He's got a lot of testosterone. He might not want to do this. Foot. Where's your foot going? Good boy. All right, so it looks like he's got some bits that need to come off. I want to make sure the actual toenail itself is nice and smooth around here.
And I'm also taking out some of this dead tissue that can dry up and cause some issues. I'm trying to open that up enough so that there aren't any pockets where debris can get trapped, and then you can get that infection starting to fester. This procedure might look painful, but it's actually just like us filing down our nails. And so, because those nails grow down rather than out, we want to make sure that when they walk around they're actually walking on the pad of their foot. The pad acts like our sneakers do, so that if they step on rocks, or anything like that, they can't feel it. As this tissue continues to grow out, we'll need to keep trimming on it. His nail grows really quick. We're opening two. Hopefully, this is all going to work out, and he'll be back to full-speed Artie soon. Yeah, that'd be great. Our job is just to keep it clean. Good boy, Bubba. You are the gentlest of giants. Artie did a great job.
We're going to keep an eye on him, to make sure that we don't see any issues. Artie, come. And hopefully we'll get this all figured out. Bubba-boy boy. You did so good. Yes, you are brave, brave elephant. This is definitely a mani/pedi day, a nice spa day for Artie. The only thing that's missing are mimosas.
