Took The Brambler back to see the vet this morning. The swelling has gone down a lot - but not completely away. I spoke to him about the possibility that it could be the grass seed they couldn't find back in July. He thinks it could be.
Anyway, the plan of action is this: we're leaving her another week, this time with no medication. The paw is causing her absolutely no problem at all. He thinks that if it is a foreign body, the swelling will increase.
I am happy to leave her another week, mainly because the poor soul hasn't been able to go a walk for almost 2 weeks now. He wants me to treat her as normal....so she can have big walks again.
So, that's it...the news is....no news, really. The important thing is that he is sure that she's not got a tumour.
We'll keep you posted.
