Vibes For Belle

Yeah I'm definitely keeping an eye on her.

I still can't tell which part is sore. sometimes it does seem that it's the pad part that hurts her so maybe she does have a sticker or something that I just can't see. I don't know

her appt is 10:15 tomorrow morning. she's laying on the couch looking VERY pitiful. although now I'm wondering how much of it is an act to milk it for all it's worth as I just let her out to pee and she went running off the porch until she realized it was still raining and I yelled at her to STOP RUNNING. so she peed and came right back in and now she's laying on the couch looking at me with woeful pathetic eyes.

This sounds familiar! If you have time - go to Dog Behavior and read "Sparky's Saga" The part where the limping kicked in starts with post #24 if you want to skip the beginning. It was one day acting half dead,, the next day just fine, then limping, etc, and around and around and around. He was driving me, and his vet, totally crazy. Thankfully she found the problem and got him straightened out.

Poor Belle!
Don't give her any sort of medications, just wait till you see the Dr. tomorrow.
Get better girl!

Pawsitive thoughts for Belle. I hope it's not too bad.

I figured out where the pain is.

it's the inner toe on her right foot. I just held her foot and wiggled each toe gently from the outside working my way to the inside and she was fine with each one then when I got to the inside toe she winced and pulled away.... and now that I know that I can see it when she walks that she is putting all her pressure on the outside of her foot.

Poor Belle! At least now you know where to have the vet look tomorrow. Good searching Mom!!
I hope she feels better soon. Maybe she sprained her toe and just needs to heal up.

I have a limping dog too.. Eli and Treo had a collision Thursday night and he's been limping ever since. I let them in from the backyard and they all ran in.. well he stopped in the living room and Treo ran around and spun around right into him. They yelped and Treo ran off... He's been limping since.

He takes Deramaxx daily, so I know that helps him. He only favors it while in the house. Once he's out back, it doesnt seem to bother him as much. He'll still run around and play on it a little too. Last time he developed a limp, we took him to the Vet and she didnt see any swollen areas, gave him a weeks dose of Deramaxx and he was better. Of course that was before we put him on Deramaxx for his spine. So we're waiting out the week... I think he's getting better as time goes by. But he's still my little HopAlong Woo as of today.

Eli sends his sympathies to Belle... He knows how she's feeling. Get better soon! =)
