Doing chases nails last night and thought back left leg felt strange like all welded together, cut fur away to see what it was panic mode has he broken a toe, or infection. Anyway he been vets this am they don't think it's broken touch wood, but infection possibly foreign object from in the garden, more likely as he digs top end to have a wee and roses had been dropping but I had cleared a lot up.
They will recheck him next week but now he thinks I was naughty as I gave him what rabbits hate baytril. But soon forgiven with more breakfast
Hope swelling goes down my poor little loving fella
 
Aw...poor Chase. Sending healing foot vibes your way with all due speed. My dogs are just discovering rosebushes for the first time and Jenna literally won't walk in the garden near where they are. She's found a thorn or two already. :(

Hope he's feeling better soon. Tell Chase my Mimzy loves baytril and he should take his like a good lad. :love: xxxx

Best vibes for young Chase. You gave him the right name then, with all his running and digging :)

yes right name, we didn't name him though it was name he already had. maybe that's why, we couldn't change his name as my little nephew thought he was named after paw patrol dog and he likes paw patrol, my dad said he might be named after tv programme

thanks just got back from getting him some more fiba first sticks, couldn't wait to get back to him, when I got back I soaked his toe in warm water and gently went over area, I got abit of thorn out, I think there may still be a tiny bit more on bottom, will try again tomorrow, but he was so well behaved, feel abit better myself having got bit out I could feel near side, as that felt quite big when poking his little foot

Oh well done, hopefully any remaining thorn will work its way out now. But soaking his foot in warm water again is a good idea. If you have any Epsom Salts available then adding a wee bit to the warm water can help draw out thorns and splinters.

yes she had some :), chase seem more his buzzing happy self today, swelling looks like it may be going down at the top, think he is enjoying me giving him extra fiba first sticks then he should be having, he isn't complaining :lol:
 
Poor Chase :( I hope his foot is completely back to normal soon. You are very clever getting some of the thorn out. I imagine it must have felt very sore beforehand, poor little chap. You know yourself, when you get a very tiny splinter in your hand it hurts a lot.
