Krstewart85 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 My greyhound Tony has three toes on his left front door because we had to have a weight bearing toe amputated. Now I have to do the same thing on his other front foot with another weight bearing toe. Has anyone had a dog that had only three toes on each of their front paws? Were they able to get around ok after healing or did it cause problems walking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenEveBaz Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I had a hound with three toes on one front foot (missing one was a middle toe) and three toes on one back foot (also a middle toe). Not the same as Tony, but she never seemed to have problems. I never knew why the toes were amputated. What is poor Tony's toe issue?

Well he had a corn on the other toe that didn’t respond to the tendon surgery. And then I guess there was a fracture that couldn’t be fixed so they amputated. This time it’s a corn again that also didn’t respond to repeated tendon surgeries. So I’m thinking I’ll just amputate since it basically solved the problem last time.

FiveRoooooers Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Totally doable. My angel Aiden (Aiden 1-4) lost a weight-bearing toe from each front foot and had a sprung toe on a hind foot. These weren't the issues that called him to the Bridge (two years ago tomorrow ) and Tony should do just fine without those wonky toes. Good luck, and please let us know how he does.
