    Corns

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I have found that dremeling the corn to keep it flush with the pad helps. I also keep the boot on his foot all day, only removing it at night. That keep the foot soft and the corn would rise up and could be hulled much easier. While I haven't tried it for corns, a cold laser treatment might provide some relief while you try other alternatives. With that much pain, though, I would also see if he has tweaked his neck or back since his gait will change due to the corns affecting his walk.

     

    I understand you are frustrated with the responses, but I hope some of the suggestions can help. I am on my third "corn dog" and I know how hard it is.

    Need To Start Alone Training, Have Some Questions!

    There are lots of good threads about how to alone train. I am fortunate that the ones that had SA issues came into my established pack and the adjustment didn't require lots of effort on my part. In my opinion, I wouldn't, however, correct her if she had been destructive. Correction after the fact is useless and she isn't trying to do something wrong, she is stressed and cannot figure out how to settle or comfort herself.

     

    Hopefully, it will be easier than you think. Maybe muzzle her when you are gone? Mine understand that if the muzzles come out, I am leaving them to their own devices for a while. I have a routine that I use before I leave and that is part of it. Now, they all split up and settle down for a long nap before I even get out of the house!

    Edited to add dosage --it's sold as 50mgs/ml strength. Give 1ml/20lbs body weight once weekly for 6 weeks. It is sold OTC.

    Has it always been 1 ml per 20 lbs? I thought it was 1 ml for 10 lbs. Brady had persistent hooks and this protocol cleared it up but I really whacked him good, I guess.

    Moral Support, Advice?

    Zoe was my dog to use her teeth instead of her words, lol. It took me several trips to the vet to figure that one out. Anyway, I muzzle my dogs (except Brady - he has no teeth and never gets off his bed anymore) when I am gone and in the car. We have a routine with the muzzles and they don't have an issue with them at all. Better safe than sorry! It is disheartening to have this happen, though.

     

    Good luck!
