Wise Old Thumper
Came home and picked up Inca, she kinda flinched a bit. Put her back down and she ate up her veg. Then picking her up again I notice that her front paw seemed swollen, so I have a feel about and one of her toes is bending right back. On further investigation I feel a scab.....pick it off and loads of pus comes out
So I have got out as much pus as I can, then dipped her foot in dilute iodine and cleaned her up. She seems ok in herself and she is only flinching when I touch her foot.
She is already on daily Metacam and Ceporex antibiotics for other issues.
I phoned the out of hours vet and he said that all he would have suggested is what I have done and said she should be fine to wait until tomorrow for an appointment.
My wee lassie. She can hardly use her back legs and now this I think she must have caught it as she often gets about dragging one of her back legs, so puts a lot of weight on the front.
I am devastated
