Gidge's Corns Came Back


Recommended Posts

I had to have Zema's hulled @ every 3 weeks for a looooooooooooong time, until we did the hull-plus-laser thing. 9 months after that, she got two small ones (one was same place); had those hulled @ 5 weeks ago, no return yet.

We take her once a month to have the corns hulled and her nails trimmed. What is the hull-plus-laser thing?

 

Want the dremel back?

Uh - no. :blink:

When Zema was in for her dental in January, while she was still under, doc hulled her Big Monster Corn again and then just barely touched the surface (the corn divot) with the laser. Not trying to remove extra tissue, just sorta cauterizing it. After that, girlie was corn-free for a good 9 months.

 

Don't know that you'd have to put a dog totally out to do it -- might be able to do it with just a bit of ace or butorphanol to help hold them still. Zema was already out for her dental so we figured we'd give it a try.

She is going in for a dental in January so I'll talk to the vet about it. Thanks!!!

If your vet wants to talk to my vet, just give a holler.

Assuming it was a therapeutic laser and not a surgical one, you don't need to put the dog out at all. Turbo's PT vet lasered him all the time. She'd do it as part of his PT and if she saw he had any scrapes or cuts, she'd laser those, too.

Surgical laser, not therapeutic.
