Yep, and keep the nail very short. The old Tucker dog split his nails regularly- he treed so hard and was always jacking around the tree so much that often at the end of the night he would have a split nail. When we were at a two night hunt and needed to hunt him again the next night, I would buy super glue and dental floss. Make a loose knot with floss, put a drop of super glue on nail [just a little bit- don't let any get in the opening], slip the knot over the nail up as high as possible. Tighten the knot up, and start wrapping the dental floss around and around the nail [and through the drop of glue]. Having the glue there will keep the floss from sliding up or down on the nail. Make twenty to thirty loops around- in a nice smooth pattern working your way out towards the tip and then back again. Put another drop of glue where the floss comes to an end. You have now made a mini cast for the nail. I have had these stay on for weeks- long enough for the nail to heal underneath.
