So both my boys are injured Riley has split his nail so it's off to the vets in the morning. I've bathed it in dilute hibiscrub and left it to get some air. You'd think I'd cut his foot off poor love. Obi has a juvenile histiocytoma which has got caught when the dogs were wrestling and in cleaning it it's come up pretty raw. So I've left that open to the air too.
Re: Dogs in the wars Oh no! Poor boys. Gentle hugs and licks to both...hope everything cleans up. How did Riley hurt his paw? I can imagine that a split nail hurts.
Re: Dogs in the wars No idea, just out for a mooch up the lane and look back to see him limping towards me he certainly squeaked when I touched it.
Re: Dogs in the wars I am sorry but they both will get better; rotten for both of them at the moment x

Re: Dogs in the wars Poor boys!! I hope their respective ailments stop hurting soon. Obi sends Obi a special lick.
Re: Dogs in the wars Obi's histiocytoma looks dry and clean this morning and we've just popped to the vets with Riley and we decided to trim the nail right back and see if it grows out. Chilled out walks for a few days, some metacam and crossed fingers that it just grows out
Re: Dogs in the wars Hopefully the nail will grow with no problems. Good Obi's pimple looks better too.

Re: Dogs in the wars Well, I can't bring myself to say wart and Obi spaniel in the same sentence (ooops : ) because that could never be and I can't spell histro..histrio..histiocty...thingy. ;D ;D ;D
Re: Dogs in the wars Hope Riley is back on full form soon Barbara , Sam had his nail taken right out as it was too damaged to save , keeping the site clean is not easy , his nail grew back fairly quickly so I`m sure Riley wont be nail less for long
Re: Dogs in the wars Oh what a shame them both down at the same time,bet you got a fright when you saw him limping . Glad to hear that things are a bit better today x
Re: Dogs in the wars Willow sympathises with the split nail especially. Her missing nail is healing nicely and she even let me hold the paw to trim her nails a few minutes ago (with a little help from a pouch of fishy goodness!). It still bleeds on occasion during walks, but she's doing a good job of keeping it nice and clean.
