I noticed that she was favoring her back right paw on our walk this morning and inspected it when we got home. It looks and feels swollen. Hindsight - she was licking it a lot yesterday, but I didn't think anything of it. I bet it was sore yesterday too. Have an appt to have the vet take a look this afternoon.
My baby girl could use your good thoughts !
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Well Bran-Bran has an abcess in her foot. Dr. C said she probably stepped on a sticker or something a week to 2 weeks ago and it is just now festering up. I feel so badly - but there were no signs of anything until yesterday. He gave her a shot of penicillin (sp?) to get it in her system and then I have to take her in the morning so they can lance it. My poor baby ..... She will most likely have to wear a cone so she doesn't bother it, since she has been licking it yesterday and today.
Need your thoughts - should I pen her up? Or crate her? Normally she and Rudy have the living room, kitchen and doggie door during the day. The one main thing I will check is that the cone will or won't fit through the doggie door. If I decide to leave them loose and there is any chance of her getting caught, I will keep the door shut. I am debating about putting an x-pen in the dining room and keeping both of them in it. I will then have my dog walker come in mid day and let them out. What are your thoughts?
Just asking for a few more rays for tomorrow morning - they won't put her under, will just sedate her. They said I would be able to come get her early afternoon. A few rays for Rudy too - it has been a while since he has been by himself.
Thanks for your support !!!!
Oh No!! Hopefully it isn't anything serious. Maybe she got stung by something?? Rays headed her way!! :pray:
