MP_the4pack Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yup. Two amps, two dogs, in two months! Her toe started to split after Aiden's mom posted about his. Her toe looked to have healed really well. But it ended up splitting 3 more times. So we made the decision to take it off. My vet said the joint had a chronic infection. She's back home now. And sleeping it off. Of course I have to keep it dry. I have a dog door and it snowed last night. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiveRoooooers Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) You'll be so glad you got this done, MP. Initially I used an IV bag to keep Aiden 1-5's wrap dry. Once we got down to a smaller wrap, the outdoor boot from DogBooties dot com worked great. Best healing thoughts for Emma and a hug for you.

3greytjoys Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Positive thoughts for Emma's speedy recovery! Hope she'll feel much better without that problematic digit. The IV bag paw cover works well for us, too. (That said, we weren't dealing with snow when our hound had a digit amputation.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighsayer Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 A baggie with cling wrap! Good luck! Hoping for an easy recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 We went to the bank this morning for my deposit and their withdrawal (cookies). One of their favorite places. But since Emma is three legged, she tires easily. So, now that it's snowing outside, and cold, she's sacked out on her bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
