BROKEN TOE TREATMENT REQUEST

Dru broke her toe Thursday - shattered it into about 6 pieces. The diagnosis - no more flying for 8 - 12 weeks.



The vet said he doubted very much they would be able to repair it with surgery because the pieces were so tiny. He didn't want to put her in a hard cast because of potential swelling. She is currently in a soft bandage, limping around on 3 legs. If she bumps the foot or catches the bandages when laying down she lets out a yelp, I'm not sure it is protected quite enough and am going to be calling today to see what other options we may have. I would welcome any suggestions or comments on experience with treatment of broken toes in dogs.

Ahhhh, the Saturday pet blog hop. It is so nice to see you again, long lost friend. We have been a bit remiss in joining and hopping to other sites lately since we have been distracted by the Tucson gem and mineral show. Welcome, hope you enjoy your visit today. I know I am enjoying a number of new blogs.

What is she so happy about?
She said something about how Mom's the best Mom in the world and went prancing on over.
Phhhtttt...she's just sucking up to get the snackies.
Don't I know it, works every time for me. And if you'll get out of the way, I'm going to prance on over to Mom as well, see if I can't get her to put down that camera and break out the treats.

Look, I already told that silly, slow human she wasn't going to get it from me and she feeds me. What makes you think I am going to share with you?

This is when you really test your freeze, flight or fight skills. Every molecule in your body is saying "RUN! There's something coming at you really fast. Move! Now!". There's a reason for it. It makes sense to get out of harms way.

The rational side of your brain is saying "Stand still. If you stand still they won't hit you." It is really hard not to bitch slap the rational part of your brain and take off at a full sprint. But if you do, you will end up being plowed down by 65 pounds of muscle going 30 MPH. And when that happens it's gonna' hurt.
