turbotaina Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 ER vet just called. Abby is very groggy so they want to keep her overnight to make sure she comes out of the anesthesia fine. The vet said it is a pretty bad injury...her pad was sliced straight through to the bone She has three layers of sutures, and a splint that she'll have to wear for 3-4 weeks. Then therapaws. She is my unlucky baby. She broke a toe on the other front foot last spring. I can most likely pick her up in the early morning. Thanks to all for your prayers Holy cow, Kimberly, what did she step on, a steak knife? Poor girl! Hope she's home very soon and on the mend.

Guest AussieWilma Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Miss Wilma is sending Abby lots of sweet puppy kisses and hoping that her paw heals really quickly. Miss Wilma has torn off 3 toenails over the years and we couldn't believe the amount of blood involved - any paw injury is frightening! She healed well and we're sure Abby will too - she will be doing her favourite things before you know it. Takes lots of care of yourselves.

Guest formercatlady Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Holy cow, Kimberly, what did she step on, a steak knife? Poor girl! Hope she's home very soon and on the mend. Who friggin knows around here She's home and resting on my bed, where she belongs. I guess I'll be in really good shape after this. She can't do stairs so I'll be carrying her up and down since she wants to be upstairs. Tell me why I have a hard time lifting a 40 lb bag of food, but no problem carrying her at 65 lbs Thank you all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6greyhounds Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Sending hugs and get well wishes from Pittsburgh. Feet boo boos are so scarey. Softee who has had nail bed infections bled profusely and scared me half to death and the same with ripped toenails. Softee ended up with an amputation of the toe nail that was always getting infected.

Houndtime Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Glad to hear she is home. Foot injuries are a problem. Try to get an IV bag for a cast or wound cover. They work the best.

6greyhounds Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 good covers for feet boo boos are the plastic newspaper sleeves and we also covered the boo boo with a baby sock while in the house and when they went outside it was also covered with the newspaper sleeves. Still praying for a speedy recovery Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest formercatlady Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I got some baby socks, and tried newspapers sleeves. I have found though that bubble wrap works great too! I didn't see the post about the IV bag until after we got home, but I'll ask her regular vet when I take her for a bandage change on Wednesday. She's doing really well. Thankfully she loves her crate, so I've been keeping her in it quite a bit. I stayed home with her today b/c I just couldn't bear to leave her.

Guest IrskasMom Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Awww Abby ...... maybe some gentle Hugs and a few Kisses make you feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missilesmom Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Try these balloon booties. Missile had a back leg injury in the winter that I needed to keep bandaged and dry - his nails eventually went through the newspaper baggie and saran wrap, so I put that on first, followed by a bootie. The IV fluid thingy seems way too thick, but I haven't used it. The booties were EXCELLENT! I got him the XL size so that he had room to maneuver in them, but they stayed pretty snug around the paw. http://www.gollygear.com/pawz.htm?gclid=CI...CFQMUGgodkFUziQ Quote BABY, HE WAS BORN TO RUN!

6greyhounds Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We only used the sleeve when they went out and I have a zillion of them so it did not matter how many I used and in wet weather we double bagged her foot. Our vet loved the idea and thanked us up and down when we left a bunch for him Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
