Luckily the nail was still in place and we were able to take xrays of his foot to see in which direction the nail had entered. Once removing the nail it was a lot bigger than we were expecting at a whopping 6 inches!
With the size of the nail we were unsure whether the tendon sheath (that runs along the back of the foot and fetlock) had been compromised.
