Me and Clover's horrible night (update: paw pictures on page 2)

[SWHouston]

Poor Clover and poor you as well...
But, I have to go along with Taz on the spoiling, get Clover back to business as usual asap.
Did I miss something, but was it determined how/why her paws were injured ?

I agree w/ Cindi, back to normal, no molly coddling!

And I agree w/ SWHouston, how did her paws get so hurt?

Dogs and fireworks, dogs and parades, these thing just do not mix.

I'm so glad she is back home with you.

Poor dog . Dogs and fireworks are a disaster waiting to happen, very lucky you got her back in one piece.

Get well soon poor Clover .

So sorry that this happened, but relieved to hear that Clover is okay.

I too can't help but wonder how her paws got injured so badly that they have to be bandaged. Part of the problem of her not walking much can be attributed to the fact that her paws are wrapped up - something that is very foreign to her and of course she doesn't understand. She's probably wondering - "why is this stuff on my feet?"

Hope that she'll be back to her old self very soon.

I'm sorry to hear that Clover got scared, ran, and injured her feet. I know you must have been very upset ... probably are to some extent. I agree with others who said she probably isn't walking much because of the bandages on her feet. Both of you hang in there!! She'll be alright.

Here is picture from today. She has pink wraps.


Also when I say she's spoiled I just mean she's getting some canned food mixed in with her food, also she needed help standing up as well as getting extra hugs and kisses. I think it's more so to make me feel better

As for how they got so bad. The vet says it's just from running full speed on the pavement. I really didn't expect this to happen. I thought she'd just go inside if she was frightened. I think it might have a little to with last week when someone sprayed pet correcter next to her and it scared her a lot. She's never been afraid of loud noises at all up to that point. I know you probably think I'm a bad owner to let this happen, trust me I never would have let it happen if I had known she'd be so afraid. I didn't even take her to where they were, she was just outside my front door.

Fireworks on are the BANE of my existence ever since I got a dog who is terrified of them. Mikey is HORRIFIED. There was one 4th of July where I literally thought he was going to have a heart attack. He is in the kennel for the next two days because we're all going out tonight in hopes that he may not hear them. The kennel is far off from any main road so I am hoping for the best. But he will be safer there because if he ever ran off he'd be killed.

Anyway, I am so sorry this happened to you and Clover! I can imagine you being a wreck, especially after hearing that a lab had been hit by a car, how horrible!! I am so so glad she is okay and safe

Clover you still look cute even with your pawsies all bandaged, pink is your color.

She'll bounce back, they always do.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad that she's now home and safe. I'm sure that once her bandages are off that she'll be able to walk around just fine. I hope she heals up quickly.
