dogfoot update

You'll recall my boy, with his expensive "shoe."





Naturally, it was raining when I picked him up from the emergency vet, and it continued to rain for most of last week.

Unfortunate mud pit at the end of spiffy new walk out to spiffy new garage. Must Buy Mulch...........





Wet ground + injured foot requires special handling.







Of course he declined to model his tasteful blue baggie outside when I was all set to record it for posterity.....





The good news is that it seems to be healing ok, even though he licks it more than I'm sure is optimal.

OW!

I need orange said...

Yeah, pretty much. :-*

There's pretty much a hole where there used to be a nail.....

Ick.

I don't think it hurts anymore. After a few days, he was running around like normal.

I didn't let him go on steps for several days, and then let him go up but carried him down.... Now he's doing it all for himself.....

oh...poor baby!! It makes me squirm thinking of it.

I hear you.

I am usually pretty ok with what goes on at the vet -- I hold him for blood draws, etc, but this time I was glad to let them take him away, knock him out, and get on with what they needed to do.

In the other room.

Where I couldn't see what was happening.

Ick.

(still squirming, myself..... ick.)
