Newbie, be gentle (2/9)

  1. I have a 63 pound female greyhound, with a corn we are treating on a front pad. I would like to buy a set of Therapaws. What size would she take?
  2. I have been looking the FB group allot. I copied and pasted this so I could share it here as well: I am wondering if this corn, which is nearly a quarter inch in diameter, is too large for the gorilla tape method. I see folks have used a Scholls Corn Pen(salicylic acid) in tandem with Mushers wax. Has anyone tried a salicylic acid “dot” under gorilla tape? (I have a corn myself which I trim back and occasionally treat with salicylic acid). I have ground back Lacey’s corn until it was almost invisible and could hardly be felt. At the time I thought I got it! STILL Lacey felt it and limped.
  3. Good news about your Grace. After seeing what other folks and their dogs are dealing with I feel fortunate that Lacey has only one (for now). I will keep updating on the forum, as we choose and implicate a non surgical solution. I will look into Bazuka.
  4. Joined the group. So many solutions. I think I am going to try the bee propolis and Burts Bees salve. The epsom salt soak looks doable for our calm grey girl Lacey. Thanks for the suggestion.
  5. We gave our Lacey Drontal and Advantage Multi topical EVERY 2 WEEKS as suggested by the Prison Greyhound website. It took 20 weeks and 11 treatments but it worked. No more chronic hookworm. We had tried every other protocol suggested to us. We were told her muscle tissue was likely full of larvae and her situation was chronic. We had tried 3 or 4 different treatments as I recall. We thought she would always have it. The Prison Greyhound protocol is a tough tough regimen but our Lacey tolerated it. 26 weeks is the longest they had to treat a dog but they say it works every time. She is 4 and 63 pounds. Specifically we used Virbantel and then Drontal for the last 4 treatments. Now we give her Advantage Multi every 30 days.
  6. My greyhound has a missing nail from a racing accident on digit 3 front left foot. A corn formed on her pad. We had it surgically removed but it came right back. It has been suggested we amputate the toe. She limps and often carries her foot completely. She walks better on the grass. Once she starts running in the grass she seems normal although a trained eye would certainly notice something off in her gait. We live in Stuart, Florida. Lacey is 4. I have filed it down but it doesn’t seem to help much. Anyone have any success with a digit 3 amputation in a front foot?
