Bailey's Limping

[greytpups]

Bailey's been limping for the past 3 weeks and the vet removed a wart...we did X-rays, anti-inflamatories, etc. I went in on Monday and I was like a mommy bear...my baby hurts and we need to do something.

 

X-rays were clears so he removed the wart...but he said it had quite a long core pressing on something? Do warts have cores? Initially, it was dismissed as nothing so i hope this heals and she feels better. Right now she can't put any weight on it but we go back today for a checkup...third visit this week.

It is so hard when they hurt and the vet can't give a solution to make them feel better and give you answers quickly. Sending healing thoughts, hugs and scritches for you and Bailey.

Corns/warts can be very painful and can cause intermittent limping in greys. They grow from a "seed" in the centre and push outward literally forcing the pad away as it pushes through... so yes, it does have a core. This is why they are so darned difficult to remove because even if you remove the outer part, the inner part(s) can still be present.

Icarus suffered with them, Atlas has them and now Orion has them (hmm.. connection between littermates perhaps?)

 

Did her limping improve after it was removed?

I have had plantar warts on the bottom of my feet and it they did have a core. They were quite painful, and needed to be treated several times. The first couple of times was not so bad but the last time I could barely walk out of the office. I think because it had shrunk and neighboring tissue was injured.

 

Are corns and warts the same? I had always thought they were different.

I'm not sure...second article refers to them as the same...both articles are similar

corns

 

"seed warts"

 

Bailey still has stitches from Tuesday so she's still limping...too bad...I don't think she'll be healed before we go to Dewey.
