Poorly paw
« on: April 24, 2012, 10:02:57 PM »
Bingley has v suddenly not been able to bear any weight on his front leg. Have had a thorough search and can't find anything. Just hoping he will be OK in the morning. Any ideas  :huh:

Just rest him for a day or so unless anything leaps out.  We "rushed" Taz to the vets last year on holiday as he couldnt put any weight on his front leg.  She must have been a witchdoctor or something, as the minute we walked into her surgery Taz was back to normal - think he was trying to get out of a walk!

Tia very suddenly was holding her front paw up a few weeks ago, we took her to the vets and she had to be sedated to have a blackthorn removed which was wedged in her nail bed.

It came on very suddenly, but she had obviously picked it up a couple of days before. 

I take it you have examined his leg & paw, you would know if it was painful by the way he would respond.

Hope it's nothing serious  ;)

Had a good feel round the whole paw/ leg and he doesn't seem to flinch around any particular areas  :huh:

I wouldn't worry too much (but of course you will  ;)) and see what he's like in the morning.  It's hard not to worry, I hope he's ok in the morning, keep us updated.

These cocker babies don't half give us some worry at times  :bigarmhug:

He's not whimpering
Is wagging his tail
Is moving/ running about.
Just not using his paw  :huh:
Do I go to the vets?
Pretty sure it's not a thorn or anything. Think Darcey jumped on him or something. She looks guilty and is being v nice to him  :angel:
