    Legs And Feet Cool To The Touch After Being Out In The Cooler(45Deg.)

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I noticed that my boys feet and lower legs are cool and grey after we walk in the cooler temps. He also has been getting colder more easily than in the past and he is balder than ever before. I have already sent his blood out for thyroid testing at Michigan state but was just curious if anyone else has noticed the temp. of their hounds feet when out in the cold. I remember my prior hounds feet being hot and pink after coming in from the cold; not cool and grey with grey nail beds.

    If he owns the clinic I would find another place to spend your money. I wouldn't give him or his clinic another dime.

    I was in a similar situation in that I had no respect or confidence in the owner of the clinic I was going to but trusted the other vets there. My dog became seriously ill and was hospitalized there. Being the owner, she took over his difficult case and because of that I feel at the very least caused my dog uneeded suffering and at most killed him. I would choose another clinic.

    I had a dobe that would eat nylon footies. I swear I was careful and I have no idea where she got them. Fortunately she pooped them out. When they wouldn't come all the way, I'd cut them off and eventually she'd get them out. I had a dobe that one time ate an entire pair of panty hose. That too came out and we were lucky.

     

    My vet the week before last removed 5 or 6 pacifers all nicely lined up in a row from a dog.

     

    I know a dobe that died from a tennis ball. I think his vets were remiss in not opening him up. It was in there for 6 months.

    I had a grey that ate 2 socks and one bandanna off of my other greys neck. Thankfully he pooped them all out. We were VERY careful not to leave anything around he could eat. I also had a 13 year old lab who had surgery to remove large pieces of tennis ball that he ate about 4 months prior.

    My greys siezures would happen in the evening and he would wake from sleeping with it. His were different. he would get up and start blindly running into walls and stumbling and become unstable on his legs. we would have to hold him until it passed, he was not aware of his surroundings.

    What Else Can This Be?

    I went through this with my boy when his fellow hound died. He never showed any signs of separation anxiety until his confident buddy died. My first day back to work I came home to curtains ripped down and torn, blinds destroyed, door frame chewed apart , doorknob crushed, and diarrhea and pee on the rug. He was never alone before. That was 2 years ago and he still has separation anxiety at certain times but has come a long way. Stress can bring on physical illness.

    Need Help With Limping--Did We Miss The Mark With The Xrays?

    The limping showed up first. The swelling showed up later and when I saw her the day before she was diagnosed and euthanized the swelling was all the way down the leg into the foot. The second vet she saw the day before still told her it wasnt osteo and was going to schedule shoulder surgery for an injury. She called me and told me this and I went over to see the dog and told her she needed to be seen by an orthopoedist immediately and that the dog was in tremendous pain. She didnt even look at me when I came in and had no use of the leg. We took her to the ortho vet and they diagnosed the tumor and she was let go then. I don't have any vets by me that I trust right now but I know one that I definitely won't be going to!

    Thanks everyone for sharing all your experiences with hounds that have lived a full life. It definitely has helped me feel more positive that my hound has a good chance of living into his teens. I will try not to focus on my other dogs passing early and instead remember all of your stories. Jeep has pannus. If thats all I have to deal with until old age I will be very happy!
