Sherman's vet visit update

[cyber-sibes]

I'm glad he is getting better! I can't even imagin how much that would of hurt!

Yeah, me either. Just stubbing my toe a little bit is agonizing! I could tell by how he cried out that it must have been excruciating. Dogs are amazingly stoic, aren't they? I did look at the tree, the bark is ripped where he hit. He didn't go ANYWHERE near that BAD TREE today! His middle toe is still swollen, but since we can put pressure on it, we don't think its broken or out of joint. Its just that when he stands, it doesn't touch the ground like the rest of them, it sticks up a bit. We think he's going to be fine, it'll just take some time.

Did the Vet take an X-ray of the sore paw?

When Shadow (RB Husky/Shepherd) *broke* the outside toe on her rear paw,
the Vet took an X-ray to confirm his suspicion ...
The X-ray clearly showed the break so there was no "guessing".

The "FIX" was a wrap on the entire foot up past the first joint - which
stayed on for 6 weeks or so.

She got the X-ray and Wrap within 12 hours of the injury, and she never let that
paw even touch the ground before or after the tratment, so I don't know if she
could have kept just that one toe "up" or not.

I'd at least call the Vet and describe how he's "holding it up" -
that might or might not be normal.

Feel Better, Sherm!!
