  1. Poor Pepper!

     

    How long did the vet say to give it before going the surgery route?

    the vet gave me 10 day course of antibiotics, which we will run with, unless it deteriorates.it does`nt seem to bother pep,but i would not like to see it get any worse. however the vet says its one of those niggly things,wich may require surgery.

     

  2. Pepper`s toe has flared up again,i took him to the vets,yesterday,the vet said we have a choice of ,antibiotics,or he would open the pad up and have a look to see if he could find anything. i chose the antibiotics, knowing how pep is with stitches .the antibiotics are different from last time,the vet says hot poltices,and try and give the pad a little squeeze to see if anything pops ,easier said than done :unsure but alas i think it might need to be opened up.

  3. Sorry to hear sadi has got a poorly toe , of course she is a lovely dog ,like her owners, ;) or is it the company she keeps some times keeps:lol hope sadi`s toe gets better real soon , unlike peps which does`nt bother him much but still makes me anxious :rolleyes: update please.

  4. Hi gters I took pepper to the vet this evening with his sore front foot. he has a lump inbetween his toes ,and a sore on one of the pads, which on closer inspection looked inflamed, so i decided to take pepper to the vet , which made pep very anxious and me apprehensive on how pep would behave as he does not like anybody touching his sore foot especially a vet! but he was very good he let the vet pullhis toes apart for a closer look,and the vet says pep has an inter digital cyst,which fortunately the the vet says is weeping , which means there is a foreign body in there, and the pad is also infected. he is now on a course of antibiotics , and warm saltwater poltices,wich hopefully willdo the trick. :rolleyes:
