... her back right leg. She's not crying, not yelping ... she lets me touch it but it's an obvious limp. Tonight she's kinda hopping ... is there anything that I can give her to maybe relief the discomfort? Could it be muscle or more than that? Can it wait until Friday when I'm off so I can take her to the vet?

I saw the pics, she was having such a good time. Maybe she did just overdue it a little. I use Ascriptin in situations like this and also massage Traumeel gel in, helps a lot.

Hopefully it will be better in a couple of days.

:kiss2 for that beautiful girl

Okay .... I just inspected her again ... there's something between her toes. What does a corn look like?

Can't help there, I can spot a corn on the pad(Wayne's had them) but have never seen them anywhere else.

This happens to our Shane, who was dx'd with osteoarthritis in his metatarsals and metacarpals at age 4. But he's a very stocky, heavy boy. Just thinking that since your Cash is 9, x-rays for arthritis might be in order. We give him a variant on Rimadyl called Vetpro when it happens, and usually once or twice a day for two days is sufficient. And it helps enormously. He doesn't ever say much in complaint, but he looks dejected until it gets set to rights!

 

Good luck!

YOU ARE MY ANGEL !!!!

 

I read your post and DH and I ran over there and she didn't want us to touch it ... we pulled out an ACORN! It was embedded between her toes.

 

I cannot tell you how thankful I am ... I'm in tears. Thank you so much.

 

DH just said to tell you that he owes you a beer .... :)

:lol Glad you didn't take her to the vet! Reminds me of the time I took my baby to the Dr. because I thought he had a sliver. Turned out to be a booger stuck to his head.

Whoo!! :thumbs-up

 

The first time she did it I was SO FREAKED - she just started limping out of nowhere! Now it's like old hat... "Welp, she's got another acorn stuck in her toes!" :lol

 

What a relief!!

This morning when i left for work, she was limping but walking on it. My sister came overo this afternoon and she wouldn't even go outside. When I got home, she ran to the door but every 4-5 steps she put her foot down and was just hopping. I was having a MAJOR freak-out ... was ready to bring her to the e-vet.

 

Whew ... thanks again .. another reason why I LOVE GT ... :)

Wow! The picture kinda freaked me out, and I thought it looked like an acorn too. Isn't it good that you posted that picture? I would imagine having an acorn stuck in there would REALLY hurt!

So glad you solved her problem.

We have the pine cone problem a lot. Though once Dude was limping and limping and i thought I'd inspected his foot all over about fortylebbenhundred times, and then I must have shined the flashlight on it just right. The poor guy had a NAIL stuck half way in his foot! Fortunately it was one of the skinny short finishing nails, but I freaked out totally. I did manage to pull it out - it didn't even bleed very much. And gave him some antibiotics I happened to have left over. No harm done, but it's always freaky - and I check their feet a lot more carefully!

 

Glad it was just an acorn for your girl!

I am so glad it was just an acorn. I know how frightened you must have been but I want to thank you all for the laugh. It is so like me to think the worst, as I am sure you did. But for some reason this tickled me.
