Guest dmona Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Kelsey had a corn removed yesterday and the vet said it was very deep, which I can see the hole in her pad. She is limping more than before and even walking on three legs. I'm sure it is sore from his digging. What can I do to help her thru this? Should I give her rimadyl. The vet didn't give me any instrutctions and I just thought she would be fine. Thanks in advance. Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Poor baby! Corns really do HURT! When I remove Staggerlee's corns, I use Trypzyme-V ointment (neosporin is fine, too) on the "hole." I also cover the feet with toddler socks, and a bootie over them, to help cushion the foot, and keep the ointment on. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Energy11 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Therapaws I like Therapaws, but Staggerlee won't wear them :-( I have to use The Voyagers Canine Booties on him. To each Grey, it's own, I guess :-)) Whatever works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylyn Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 When Kieran has her corns hulled, her paws are tender for a few days afterward so I fill the holes with bag balm, and put baby socks on under her Therapaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, racindog and energy 11....the therapaws rub blisters on the side of Kelsey's foot, I have two different sizes...I also have two different kind of neopaws, cushipaws and the Voyager boots.(she has more shoes than I do) The cushipaws work but won't stay on.I really had forgotten about the Voyager boots, thanks for the reminder...will use the neosporin as suggested. Should I give her rimadyl...if so how much and how often? Thanks again.

Thanks, greylyn...I happen to have some. When I was at the VA hospital with my husband the other day, a lady told me to get bag balm, or Vitamin E or diabetic callus remover. So, I went and bought all of it, only used the callus remover and I think it may have helped bring it to the surface. I need a bigger cabinet for all of their drugs and ointments.

I find, that meds like Rimadyl and Deramaxx, aren't really necessary, using the ointments, socks and booties. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
