Been to the Vets
and they don't know what it is
She thinks he may have had something in it like a grass seed but said it will have migrated and to watch for something coming out further up his leg. She gave it a squeeze and nothing. Or he could have scratched it or pierced it on something and it became infected. So he has had an anti inflamatory jab and is on ABs for a week. we have to go back next friday and if it's still the same will be booked in for sedation and they will cut his foot and have a look, though she doesn't think they will find anything
He has had the silicae for five days as recommended on the bottle and I havent seen anything come out from anywhere. I don't know if I should clip the feathering off the back of his leg or will anything in it come out the front where he is already smooth haired. She said he has to wear a sock [tried that he wouldn't keep it on] so have to get him a leather boot. anybody know where I can get one that will stay on .
Whilst I was in there a couple came in with a young working cocker [she was gorgeous] only a year and ten months old. She had the biggest belly I had ever seen and assumed wrongly she was about to give birth. They said her belly had come up over the last week. I waited till they came out. [not being nosy just cos she is a cocker] Anyway the vet said she didn't know [doesn't know much does she
] but said it was fluid and maybe a heart condition, spleen or liver problems. This dog was full of life and very friendly but you could see she was thin. Her owners think it's because she nicked a block of cheese, she is booked in for monday for xrays and a scan. As I was stroking her, she rolled on her back for a tummy rub and she peed, I've never seen pee that colour it was the deepest yellow and you could see where it stained her fur [she was white with some black spots] I hope she hasn't got FN or kidney problems. I don't know the symptoms. Do workers suffer from FN. Whatever it is it didn't look good. They only insured her last week so she won't be covered. I think they thought she had a problem and insured her but had to take her to the vet before the 14 days was up
poor little thing I hope it's going to be ok.
