HopeForHounds Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) for Jake? His right front foot and ankle are swollen. No idea (as usual) what happened. It is hot and he is definitly feeling crappy. I gave him a tramadol and am keeping him quiet. As per my vet's instructions we are keeping an eye on it and treating the pain. If it's an infection she wants to be able to have something to aspirate to send to the lab. If it isn't better by Monday, then off he goes to see Miki and there goes my Christmas bonus. Sunday Taday he is putting his full weight on his foot. It looks a little bit bigger and he is being a total suck. So, maybe he twisted it playing in the snow with Peanut on Friday night. I'm beginning to think he is a fragile 82 lb boy. I stayed home with him while Daddy is at PetsMart doing a M & G and Peanut is at her Auntie Laura's for a blood donor clinic. It feels really odd being home with only one.
