Wee bit of advice please???

We have had our furry baby now for nearly four and a half years she has always had problems with nails one falls off every year it grows wonky then falls of but now we are aware of other nails being really brittle and cracking is there anything we can give her to help this thanks gill john and willow xx

Re: Wee bit of advice please???

This is an Auto Immune condition that causes this with their nails and is quite common.

Simple things to do are give biotin tablets from superdrug or vitamin B complex tablets everyday to help strengthen and condition the nails.
Get boots for the paws to protect the quick when the nail comes off as you need to keep it clean to prevent infection.

Article on Pemphigus (S.L.O.)

Hope that helps
