The vet let me see the xray, and it was definitely her toe--broken clean through diagonally. I was wondering if she really needs a splint since it is a toe she doesn't really put weight on. The bandage over the splint makes the floor slippery for her, and she moves in a very awkward fashion that makes me nervous. It seems like she has potential to strain something if she loses her footing and her leg goes the wrong way. She is supposed to go back this Friday for a re-check. I think I will ask about possibly not having the splint. Thanks!

I am worried about pressure sores too. Where do you get a Therapaw boot?

I am not sure how Halle broke her toe. I let the two pups out at 6 am Friday morning. It was dark, and I couldn't really keep track of all they were doing. When they came back in, Halle was acting very subdued, which I thought was odd, but it wasn't until after she ate her breakfast that I noticed she was limping. When I looked at her foot, it was very swollen, and her little toe was splayed away from the rest of her foot. I imagine that she was running and caught it on something? That is what it looked like. The vet said that greyhounds break their toes more because their toes are so long. Not sure if that is true. As far as walking, I don't think she really understands why she can't go. I know that I feel completely awful when I go out the door to walk Seamus without her. I had to put away all the toys because she loves to race around with them, and the vet said to keep her "quiet."

Deer Apollo, I haz to hab the plastic bag too, and I hate et! Hab you not been on a walk fer three weeks? I em so berry sorry. Did yer frend Troy not to get his walks fer 8 or so weeks? I am not likin dis news....but I hope you get yur cast off and are gettin' to go on walks soon. Yur Frend, Halle

Halle is going to go back to the vet and get a check this Friday. I guess I am concerned about the splint too. I wonder if it does more harm than good? They are going to check her for pressure sores, but it seems as if it is a toe that she doesn't really bear weight on, why can't they just wrap it and let her walk? She is slipping all over the floor with the wrapping on, and I just don't know how rambunctious she should be or not be. She is a very high energy dog, and she is going bonkers.

It is my most outside toe that I don't put any weight on. It happened 3 days ago and I is goin' crazy cuz I can't go on walks with my mom and foster brudder. I am wonderin' when I might be able to go on walks again. Does any buddy know how long it takes to get better when you has a toe like this? Thanks. Halle
