Guest kar Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 scotch hurt his toe running 2 weeks ago. it was black and blue - vet xray it and no breaks. he seemed fine but now when he runs he holds the foot up again and will not walk on it for a bit. do you think it is still his toe - or could it be something else. cant get him back to the vet until tuesday. vet does not have late hours work would not let me leave. since i lost doug to cancer i am a bit scared.

Guest BrianRke Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Daytona hurt his toe a couple months ago. There were no breaks but it was black and blue and it took him a while to get over it. Im not sure why he would be ok and then start again. He may have re-injured it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wonder if he is dislocating it and popping it back himself? That would explain the soreness.

Guest KennelMom Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 sounds like it's too soon to have him running around on an injured toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickiesmom Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 sounds like it's too soon to have him running around on an injured toe. Based on my recent experience with Jaynie (ligament injury in toe) it took a good 2 months of leash walks only (gradually increasing in length after the first month or so) before I let her off leash again. I knew the second I did she'd be off like a bullet, just for the joy of running. After it happened she was on Tramadol for a week or so for pain, and then nothing. Now I watch for it bothering her, and if it does we scale things back again for a couple of days, and so far she has been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
