Remolacha Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Finally got a diagnosis for Conner's wonky toe. His chiropractor is studying for her boards, and her study group was going through Care of the Racing and Retired Greyhound. They got to the section that included sprung toes and she said, that's it! that's Conner's toe! Turns out we have been doing the right things, rest in the beginning, and cold laser. That and time. It's a relief to have an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Glad you have a diagnosis! What a relief. What have his symptoms been? Did it show up on an x-ray? You've mentioned Conner on some of my Sweep threads, but I'm interested in the details bc we're still trying to figure out her mystery limp. We've discovered she has pressure sores(?) between her two twisty toes, so I'm wondering if we have a toe issue too. (Feel free to PM me or point me to a thread if you've covered it elsewhere.) I'm really happy for you! Quote Rachel with littermates Doolin and Willa, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

I'm really happy for you! This is a separate issue from the one I mentioned in Sweep's thread (I think!) A couple of months ago his chiropractor noticed one of his "knuckles" on a back toe was swollen and bruised. It looked like it was broken, but when we x-rayed, there was no fracture or break, and neither her or my regular vet could figure out what was going on. A sprung toe is a sprain of one or both ligaments along side the toe joint. The book did mention that there could be pressure sores on the surrounding toes, but this is obvious, the knuckle is swollen and hard.

There's nothing obvious on her toes other than the wonkiness that's always been there, but I'm going to file this away regardless!
