A plain ol' sweat sock will work too if you don't have any booties handy. Just tap the end up with vetwrap or something that won't stick to his fur.
Hope Buddy is feeling better soon.

I'm a pro now at foot injuries as this is his 3rd one.![]()
I use old socks and use self adhesive wraps because they are sticky enough to keep the sock on, but don't rip his fur off when it time to take it off.
I can't tell you guys enough about what a good boy he is! He knows when I want to look at his foot or change his wrapping. I sit down on the floor by his first aid kit
Val-I've tried TONS of stuff over the years, Bach's Rescue Remedy, the Plug in things... you name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing has worked.![]()
I just bought 3 different types of flower essences from the Animal Wellness collection from Green Hopes Farm (the stuff Nancy talks about) I bought Separation, Anxiety and Outburst. I've been using all 3 for almost a week now and haven't seen a change, but then again we haven't had any storms lately. Fingers crossed.
Crow- I'll give the Lavender oil a try and I'll also look into the degaussing strip. Funny thing is that my husband is an electrician!
I'm going to try the anxiety wrap a shot too.
Poor dog won't know what hit him the next time a storm hits. I'll be giving him pills, rubbing oil on his chest and paws, stuffing him into a t-shirt... etc.![]()
Thank you all for your input and help!
Poor Buddy. I can just image how fearful you are while it is storming. I wish I could give you big cuddles so you wouldn't be so afraid.
Thank goodness it was only his foot, had he gone through the window the first day he may have ended up cutting himself all up. I know what you go though, my parents have a JR that just goes bonkers long before we can even hear the thunder. They have tried all different stuff too but as she gets older she gets worse. Give Buddy some hugs for me.

Hopefully *SOMETHING* one of us suggested will work.
(Oh i don't know why this reminded me of this... other than i just got done posting it to another board of mine. ... For about 15 years now I've had horrendous crippling "female" pains one or two days a month. *ehem* Nothing has worked to take away the pain... 15 years of trying to find SOMETHING that will help. Well for about a year now I've been taking some herbal supplements. They're Ok to the point where I'm not ready to kill myself just to escape the pain... almost just a figure of speech there... well four months ago completely by accident I found Northland Cranberry Grape juice. :-D If i start drinking it the day before and then the day of... I can function!!! Not coherently... but the pain is so minimal that i can deal with it... up to three pain killers and that's it. I'm soooo happy. ...anyhow the point of the story is that it took 15 years and pure chance to find something that worked. ...I really hope it doesn't take you that long to find something that helps buddy... But I'm sure it'll take a LOT of experimenting and process of elimination. I had also taken carob and some chi tea a few months back. The next time i had both of those, but not the juice. :-( oh well, now i know.)

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
