Barb,
Thank you for explaining the cartilage, I was once
told the dew claws could be ripped off.
Once in a while I will put my Pyr a
30' chain to run around the yard. I never leave him out of sight for
more than a couple minutes because he always tangles himself up. One day
he did this and he was squealing in the worse pain. I could not get
him fast enough, One of his dewclaws had gotten caught in the links of the
chain. As he panicked, the chain pulled more on his dew claw. I
thought for sure he was going to lose his dew claw. I was able
to calm him down, and get him loose. No damage. Those
toes are a lot sturdier than they appear.
