My dog twisted her nail and I don't know if the nail is just twisted off or if her toe is broken, my mom won't let me get a good look at it. My dogs aren't registered which, yes, is illegal but that means we can't take her to the vet. I honestly have no idea what my mom's doing, I'm very concerned, my dog is in so much pain she can't sleep, she won't stop crying, she keeps trying to tear her bandage off which is now firmly fastened on so she can't but that bandage is literally all we have, no disinfectant or Neosporin or anything. I'm an adult and I know how to take care of this the right way but this is my mom's dog and she won't let me touch her because she doesn't want to cause her any further pain but this woman gave the dog children's ibuprofen and I don't trust that at all, ibuprofen is not for dogs, no sir! And we do have actual numbing medicine, I don't know what it is but you just put it on your skin and it numbs anything it touches until it's washed off and if taking a nail off or putting in a makeshift splint is all we have to do it's probably good enough. So what can I do about this??
Doggo needs help!?

Update:
Mom decided to take her to a vet anyway, they didn't even ask whether or not she was registered and they gave her her shots and even clipped her nails while they were at it just to be cool. The vets said they loved her and to come back any time. All is well
