Guest MyGreyAster Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Aster was running in the yard today and yipped really loudly. She was favoring her left foot, and when I got close, I could see her toe was pointing the wrong direction! Without thinking, I moved it, and it popped back into place. Another yip, and then she was walking, favoring it for a bit, but now seems fine. First of all, is that a common thing for a grey to dislocate a toe? I'm assuming that's what she did. And secondly, should I be on the lookout for anything now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sounds dislocated to me. We've had a couple dislocated - one popped back in itself, a couple I had to pop back in and one that the vet had to do b/c I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I usually soak it in ice water 3-4 times a day for the first few days and after that just keep activity to a minimum for a couple weeks. Some dogs seem more prone to dislocated toes than others. It's one reason I keep nails short and even then it can happen if they make a sharp turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
