This might sound like an odd request on the board but I am trying to get answers on why my dog’s (Border Collie) nails are splitting, nearly all of her nails are flaking apart, some are twisted also. She doesn’t chew on them either.

Chuckster’s wife works for a veterinarian iirc, she may know. Peteypupperdoo, if she’s up to typing, may know, she’s a dog enthusiast.
Sorry I didn’t ping you in my reply to LJ. I have a hard time posting from my phone.
My neighbour’s dog had that two summers ago. He initially thought it was a bacterial infection, but the vet told him it was fungal from ringworm. The doggie got meds and was cured. He told me because our dogs sniff at each other through the fence and was worried my dogs would catch ringworm from his.
I’ll pm you, Gasshog. I was a dog groomer for years. Hopefully Chuckster’s wife can help as well.
Sorry, Chuck, can’t remember your wife’s screen name.. Rose something??

Sounds like a nutrition issue.
I would suggest adding collagen to her diet.
Ping to Peteypupperdoo for dog nail question.
