galgomum Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Wednesday I had an appointment with the vet for Tom, he finally got neutered, his teeth got cleaned(lost only one tooth ) and after looking at the link I provided, he tried the hulling for the three corns Tom had. He was very happy with the method and didn't charge me for removing them Now, I don't know why, but I expected Tom to have a lot less pain right away. But instead he is limping even worse with the leg he had two corns in. It this how it is supposed to be, do I want things to go to fast? Or should I go back to the vet and have him checked out for other things... I would love to see my sweet boy walk normal and without pain for once.

Burpdog Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If they were big ones it will be several days before he stops limping. Assuming vet didn't go too deep Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikibean Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We found for the small ones that pop right out they feel better right away. If they're larger or if it's the first time they've been done sometimes it takes a few days for them to feel better. I'd watch them for a day or two to make sure the holes don't look red or like they're getting more irritated. One of Nancy's corns took several days after it was hulled for her to stop limping on it. Now when it comes back I can actually just take it out w/ my fingernails (which are non-existant).

galgomum Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks, it was the first time and he had to big ones in his left front paw. It is that one that he still has so much trouble with, it looks like theother paw feels much better and he walks a lot better on that one.

Guest weisster Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Darrel has been hulled 3 or 4 times now. He always limps worse and for longer...a week...sometimes more if the doc goes too deep. He never walks without a limp but he does walk better for about a week and than it's time to take him back. It's really quite frustrating. We only walk on grass because of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnsliz Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 A trainer also told me about "memory pain" Where the pain may actually be gone, but the dog is not recognizing it. Happens when there is long term pain. I hope Tom is feeling better by now:) Quote <p>Finn, Wink, Birdie, Snap and SmokeyJG Quicknfast 7/25/99-5/16/08, JG Quickwink 7/25/99-9/22/13, Iruska SweetDuv 7/19/03-11/9/16, Delbar 6/11/11 and Catahoula Smokey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hugs to you and Tom. I thought I'd tell you and anyone who might have a corn-dog about what has happened with Wabi, in case it can help. She had a corn that was sticking out above the pad by the time I started this treatment, suggested by a few posts here on GT. I started adding bee propolis to her food, and a few days later, it had hulled itself! Now, a few weeks later, it's still a slightly harder place on her pad, but seems less sensitive to touch, and less hard, less distinct than right after the "hulling". I have her in booties when we go for walks, which seems to take care of any residual sensitivity. The treatment suggested here on GT was actually to mix propolis and aloe, and apply it to the corn 2x/day, but I got capsules instead of some nice smearable form, so I just started popping them in her food until I worked out what I would do about that. Being a right procrastinator, that's as far as I got for several days. So. Voila!

Guest robingrey Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 It's good to hear that he's doing somewhat better. I hope it just gets better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awkwanett1 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Sometimes my dog walks out better than she walked in!! Then sometimes it takes a couple of days before I see improvement. The improvement usually lasts about 2-3 months before I have to take her back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
