ramonaghan Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Okay, make that kick, singular. We got her a Hunnyboot from Australia (she is now officially a kangaroo, after all). She's doing quite well with it, and hopefully it'll help extend the time between corn hullings. She does lick her knuckles a bit when we remove it after walks, but hopefully she's just adjusting. I'm so proud of this girl (and her extremely tolerant brother who let me scale his teeth yesterday, but that's another story). P.S. Any ideas for how to keep the harness from twisting so much? It's not bothering her, just curious. Edited September 3, 2023 by ramonaghan Quote Rachel with littermates Doolin and Willa, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

EllenEveBaz Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I hope that boot gives her pads lots of protection. What made you choose that brand? No ideas on the harness -- never had one twist that much. Smile and show off those clean teef, Mr Doolin!

Remolacha Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Willa! Fashion Queen! I’ve never had a harness twist that much either, is it too loose? My guess would be her hoppy gait is the main cause, not much you can do about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBass Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Willa is doing wonderfully well! No helpful thoughts on the harness twist. This may be physics we're dealing with. I'm glad you don't find that it bothers her. Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.

ramonaghan Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 I suspect hoppy gait + no front right leg to hold it in place + maybe a touch loose = twisty harness. It worked fabulously for Sweep, but she was a rear leg amp. We'll experiment more! 1 hour ago, EllenEveBaz said: I hope that boot gives her pads lots of protection. What made you choose that brand? I kept seeing it praised in the FB groups I'm in (corns, osteo, hounds that hop) so decided to try it out. It's designed specifically for greyhound feet and I love that it has a zipper for easy on/off. I just worry that her front foot takes such a punishing now and felt like we should have something to protect it.

FiveRoooooers Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Best doggo mom! I've read that you can put a toddler sock on underneath the boot, maybe that would help.

MerseyGrey Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 She is a diamond - hard as nails and beautiful too! Buddy has the same harness and even with a full compliment of noodlesticks, it twists a bit. We could tighten it a bit but I don’t want it to be too tight, so we just let him wear it at a rakish angle.

BatterseaBrindl Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Willa Our Flagmaster twisted like that on Mario. He was a smaller front amp SalukiX. I think it’s because there’s no shoulder to hold it straight. Joshi (Saluki/GSD) is also a front amp dawg but hasn’t worn the harness since we first got her. She also still has her shoulder.
