retiredracers Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Foose's right front foot swelled up yesterday and mom took him to her vet this morning. Based on the xrays, they are suspicious of osteo. Mom adopted him at 5 years old and he had a pretty busy racing career. I think he made his owners about $15,000 dollars... not too shabby but the racing years took a toll on his joints. Poor Foose has suffered sooooo much with the corns on all four of his feet plus arthritis on top of that. He doesn't need this... not that any dog does! Xrays have been sent to OSU... hoping for good news. Thanks for your prayers, good thoughts and white light. UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your thoughts, white light and prayers. We just herd from OSU and it's not osteo. they think its either a spider or snake bite that has infected the bone. We are very happy that Foose is going to be ok. Thank you again.
