Guest Ashie Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hey everyone! I am new to this site! I have 2 greyhounds, a male (Booth, who is 4) and female ( Lou Lou, who is 7)! They are the loves of my life!!! Anyway, This morning, Lou Lou was going potty down a hill and I am not sure if she slipped or what happened, but she started limping. I thought maybe she had a sticker in her paw, so I checked it 5 times just to be sure. Well we got inside and she started licking and biting at it, so I started pushing on the various areas of the paw, and she yelped! So, I iced it this morning and gave her some medication to calm her down. I only work a half day today, so I will be going home to spend time with her. I don't know if it is a sprain or if it could be more serious? I am not sure if anyone on here had the same problem and could offer some advice?

Feisty49 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm thinking that a sprain wouldn't cause her to bite/work at her foot. Maybe it was a bee sting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ashie Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 She seems to be doing okay. Still limping a tiny bit but not like earlier today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
