Sighthounds4me Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I'm going to call and make a vet appointment tomorrow, but a few prayers in the meantime would be appreciated. She's been licking at her right front foot for a little while now. We have these nasty little sand burrs all over our yard, and they get stuck to EVERYTING, so of course, that was my first suspicion. I have checked very thoroughly several times, and have found nothing. No burrs, no wounds, everything on the surface looks and feels healthy. But still, she's limoing. She's not letting it stop her, so we will have to leash-walk her in the yard, to prevent her hurting herself more. But, based on where she's licking, I think it's a foot or wrist problem, so I am thinking we are not dealing with the "C" word. But DH thinks she's losing weight. I see that she's lost some, but not any more than she usually loses at this time of the year. She LOVES to run like an idiot, and in the cooler weather of fall, she does! So she loses weight, because of increased activity. We never realize it till we can see it, and then we increase her food. I think that's all it is this time, too, but DH is unsure. So, like I said, we will make an appointment for as soon as we can get in.

Sighthounds4me Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 No limping today! Looks like the prayers are working, THANKS! So I think we are going to keep on keeping on - I will hold off on the vet, and keep leash walking, and see what happens. I'm thinking she strained something, so I think we'll wait and see...

Remolacha Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 glad she's not limping today! maybe she stepped on one of those burrs, and her foot was sore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
