brindlehound Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 About a week after we moved, Joy stepped down wrong (on a stone I think) and has been limping off and on during our walks. The foot isn't swollen and wasn't cut. She limps only on pavement and even then only on some types of pavement. She seems fine when the pavement is smooth but limps on rougher pavement. I'm leaning toward a bruise on her foot rather a corn just starting to come up. She doesn't seem too bothered by it; and, even though I try to encourage her to stay on the grass where possible, she insists on walking on pavement unless she wants to sniff something or do her business. Any thoughts on treating it? Quote Carol, missing Magic (1/5/01 - 4/15/15) but welcoming Fuzzy's Joy Behar (Joy) into my life on 5/31/15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 If it was me I'd put a boot on that foot and try to protect it as much as possible. Since you have to walk there's no way around having to be on hard surfaces. A boot will help whether it's a bruise or a corn. Just FYI, she probably won't like wearing it at all!

Walliered Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 How much does she weigh? I can send you a Thera Paw if she is around 60#. Lady had to wear them for corns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brindlehound Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Joy is around 60 pounds. Thanks. The biggest problem is she growls when I put something on her that she doesn't want like her thundershirt and muzzle. I can give it a shot though Quote Carol, missing Magic (1/5/01 - 4/15/15) but welcoming Fuzzy's Joy Behar (Joy) into my life on 5/31/15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliered Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I mailed the Thera-Paw boot today so you should get it soon. I hope it works for her. Nan The boot opens up pretty wide, so she may not object to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliered Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Carol, I have not heard if the Thera Paw boot I sent you helped your hound. Did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
