sore foot

[HeatherH]

Dutch's foot is sore. He's not yelping. Just favoring it. I looked and seen nothing. So I didn't take him for a long walk. I'll wait to see for a couple days to see how it is.

If you see him licking his foot, pay attention to exactly where he's licking. If there is some kind of lesion or cut or something, that'll give you a clue about where it is. Also check up around the wrist pad. It could be a tiny burr or anything.

Good idea to rest him some and see what happens.

can you feel around for any heat anywhere?

he's so good a letting me look at things. I cheched his webbing and pads I found nothing. It only seems to be when he runs. If I walk him it's ok. still I'll let him rest.

Heather,

I hope Dutch is doing better. The rest part is most important because they tend to re-injure themselves as soon as they start to feel the slightest bit better.
