Penelopesslave Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Bell has been limping a LOT lately. At her age I have been expecting to hear the worst but today I was looking at her feet and saw this on the foot she limps on. In the 8 years I have had hounds I've never seen a corn. Could that be what this is? Sorry about the crappy pic, my camera is old. We have an appointment at 2 pm today to have her checked out. Thanks!

Jiffer Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yup, looks like a corn to me.

Guest trevdog Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yep, either a corn or something got stuck in there and has caused the pad to harden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinggreysslp Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It looks exactly like the corns I have hulled on my hounds pads.

Penelopesslave Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks everyone! I am actually kind of glad it is "just" a corn-- we've been through $1000 over the past 6 months dealing with her back & hip issues, so a corn seems like an easy problem to solve.

TheFullHouse Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sure does. Andy has one on his front toe. We just recently had it hulled.
