Oh crikey - think Ruby's busted her front leg - she's sore but home now
« on: September 06, 2010, 09:37:47 AM »
Poor Ruby couldn't walk on her front leg this morning - I thought it was odd when she didn't rush out of bed with Eddie to go in the garden when I got up - had to carry her out to the loo, and while she did eat some food she stood (wobbled) on three legs to eat it  :huh:

Had to take an emergency day's leave and vet booked at 12pm - when i gently tried to feel her paw/leg over she shreiked liked a banshee when it bent and her joint seems a bit swollen, she's not moved all morning and looks very shell shocked and sorry for herself poor thing - I wonder what she can have done? She was fine when we went to bed  :'(

Poor Ruby  :'(

I hope you get on OK at the vet. Fingers crossed it's just a sprain or something.

Bramble was walking on 3 legs yesterday, with her front right leg up, she had crate rest over night and seems back to normal this morning, gave her foot and pads a good check over she didn't yelp at all, thankfully though normal madness has been resumed today!   :005:

Thanks guys - i'm none the wiser at the moment! Took her to the vet who has kept her in to sedate her and have a good look - it could be a grass seed gone up into her paw perhaps, or, as it seems to be her 'wrist' joint (what is that bit in a dog?) that's causing all the pain, if it's not a grass seed they are going to x-ray her for fracture/break.....poor love, I know she is in the best place but i hate leaving them behind for sedation (especially as she's had breakfast - vet said her leg/paw was too bad to leave until tomorrow).... please send Ruby COL get well wishes while i sit by the phone!  :luv:

What a horrible shock for both of you.  Fingers crossed that it's something less serious. Poor you - it's going to be a rotten day waiting.

Well that was quick! They've shaved her paw - she had a grass seed but on her fur rather than between her pads, so not that apparently, they've taken an x-ray and nothing showing, so the vet is stumped by the sounds of it as she cannot put any weight on her paw and went crazy when it was touched before sedation! Here's hoping it's just a sprain then and the anti-inflamatory and pain killer will help her feel better soon  :dunno: Can collect her later so going to pop to the shops to while away a couple of hours and make something of the day's leave i've had to take! Glad I got it checked though  :luv:
