My dog's nails have blood inside. Is this normal or an infection?

These white spots can be normal color variation on the nails. The deep pink/red color within the nails is from where the blood and nerve supply run down the nail. This is also known as the quick of the nails and should be avoided when trimming their nails. From the photo, your puppy's nails appear normal. If you see a dark brown color on the surface of the nails near the nail beds, this can indicate a yeast infection but this is not seen in the photo provided. Have fun with your new puppy.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What you are describing is the normal quick or blood supply of the nail which is again not abnormal and nothing needs to be done. She does need a nail trim which you can do with your groomer or veterinarian at your earliest convenience. Best of luck!

The quick of the nail does have a blood supply in it, and that may be what you are seeing. But it could also be that King's nail is infected. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. I would take him into a vet today to get checked out. Best of luck.

In general, a nail that is only cut a little and not too bad should not be a high risk of infection. Make sure to keep the nail clean and dry. Make sure that Poodle is not licking at the nail. Monitor it closely for any signs of a problem and have Poodle examined if needed. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think this is inflammation of the tissue underneath which could have been due to minor trauma. As long as Ella is otherwise doing fine, it would ok to monitor as if it is just mild inflammation, it is expected to normalize and look like the rest of her nails within a day or two. Good luck and have a great day!

That appears to be normal pigmentation development. If there is any sign of infection around the nail bed (redness, swelling, discharge) or Kendra is licking/chewing the area, you may want to have it examined and treated. But the color development appears normal. Hope this helps.

The most common cause of brown discoloration of nails is a yeast infection. Most yeast infections are secondary to allergies and excessive licking of the paws. If he licks his paws then you should talk to your vet about trying medications to control his allergies. In the mean time you could soak his paws in a warm Epsom salt solution and see if that helps. Dry them well after soaking.
