Kiger Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 It never ends. Kato has something wrong with his paw. I took him to the vet and she pulled something out, but we never saw what it was. With all the construction going on around me, it could have been almost anything. I thought it would heal up pretty fast, but it's been almost a week now and it's still this icky, warty looking thing on his pad. I've been soaking it and putting antibiotic ointment and cortizone cream on it 3x a day. I think it's getting smaller, but it's hard to tell. He also has a baby tooth that hasn't come out and his adult canine is coming in behind it. :roll: On top of that, my old dog was diagnosed with geriatric vestibular disease which means she gets episodes where she falls down, and has nystagmus where she goes partially blind and her eyes jump. I hate it when my pets are sick. :cry: Quote
corgilady Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 Oh, so sorry Kiger! I went thru that a couple months ago, it seemed like I was at the vet's every day for awhile.... "everybody" was either sick or hurt. Paws are difficult to heal, I think. Hang in there! Quote
Poofy Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 If the vet removed something from her paw it means she has a puncture wound. Puncture wounds are hard to heal...she needs oral anibiotics. Without proper treament it could fester and she could get blood poisoning. Quote
Kiger Posted January 23, 2003 Author Posted January 23, 2003 Whatever she pulled out was immediately lost it was so small. We never did find it. It looks like it's shrinking, just very slowly. He's not as ouchy on it anymore either. At one point he was screaming if he scraped it on the ground. Quote
Hobbit Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 I can surely relate and feel your pain. Sending you good thoughts for a speedy recovery on all counts. Quote
Kiger Posted January 23, 2003 Author Posted January 23, 2003 K napisał(a):Hang in there Kiger, paws are slow to heal, is there any treatment for your older doggy? Benadryl of all things - supposed to help her dizziness. There really isn't anything you can give them. It's just one of those things older dogs can get. At least she's feeling good enough to go outside on her own again. It's 13 degrees here! Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 sorry you are having a bad time, I'll send thoughts to you :D Quote
