Glad to hear the good news! Nothing better then a man, a dog and a ball.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 10:45 pmThanks for the tip. It took me way too long to see the irritation between her pads. I should have paid closer attention.Oldbarndog wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 7:10 pm Musher's Secret. Great stuff for paw pads, especially in winter to protect from road salt.
We ignored our 8 y.o. dog's limp for a few days....took her in and turns out she had a fracture around here hock/ankle joint. Doc suggested to NOT cast it the break since that often creates hot spots from rubbing. So leash walking for a month vs letting her run free in our woods/field. Plus she had to be carried up and down the steps...she weights in at 50lbs.
Took her in for a follow up and the Doc found she had completely torn the tendon. Surgery and more weeks of carrying her up and down the steps and leash walks. 50/50 chance that during recovery the other leg gets injured.
8 weeks post surgery and she has finally got a skip in her step again. Doc was crystal clear - her ball chasing days on land are O.V.E.R. The good news, she loves to swim and will fetch the ball as it floats down river.
The look(s) she has given us speaks volumes - What the heck did I do to deserve this!!
Our other dog really misses his wing-girl in their daily hunt for chipmunks.
