Ginger's Leg

[Daisy and Delilah]

I think about you guys all the time. So great to hear from you. I can't wait for the pic. I remember Bob and Ginger. I hope Ginger's leg will go back to normal and heal.

Ginger's leg has gone down in size from it's swollen size, but not all the way. It is still noticeably fatter in the upper thigh area. Now I was feeling that area and I can feel a lump. It is up high on her back right hind quarter, about 2 inches over from her rectum. It is definitely a lump, but don't know if it is a swollen gland or something worse. Any ideas from anyone?

How about a bug bite? I would definitely check with the vet. I'm not familiar with alot of dog ailments. If I were you, I'd give the vet a call tomorrow and see what they can offer. Best wishes.
Daisy and Delilah, and me, send kisses to Ginger and Bob.

Just as a precaution I would have a Vet look at the leg. It's hard to give advise over a forum of what it may be. If it is a sprain which my dogs have had in the past I always keep arnica which is a homeopathic remedy on hand and give immediately. But, with a sprain my dogs have favored that leg.

Apparently it is nothing. Nothing but a harmless fibrous lump in her rear hind quarter. Vet says she has some others at various locations too. But her rear left leg seemed much bigger than the other (in what would be the thigh area for us). I guess it must have been that way for a while, because she seems fine and the leg still seems to be a bit bigger. Not as much, but just a bit larger. Maybe it has been that way for a while and we just did not notice.
