Poorly Paw

Maverick has been in the wars.... well no not really he's been chasing me round and round, being a complete nightmare and v. annoying and has now managed to damage his pad on his back passenger side paw!

To start with there was a couple of niks out of it so M popped a sock on, taped up with vet wrap - she didn't think it would last long but Maverick wasn't bothered at all and carried on as normal...

Unfortunately it started to get worse as M & D couldn't control his manic moments so M asked A to pick up a set of dog boots and some sudacrem (other creams are available)

and so for the past 3 weeks Maverick has been getting cream on his foot 3x day and wearing his boot when out and about, and all was going well till he went to work with D on Monday. (Oh dear D, what have you done now!!)

D is currently working for a friend who has 4 dogs on site so they were all enjoying themselves and Maverick was out joining in with his boot on... 1/2 hr later D found him limping around the yard (still trying to enjoy himself) bootless... unfortunately the damage was done and he had a very swollen, sore paw! He was bundled into the car for a timeout...

 So its lots of cream and short walks for Maverick at the minute - he even missed agility on Tuesday (although we both did cause M was full of cold too!) Hopefully it won't take long for him to back tearing around the garden again!

  1. Ooohh, so sorry to hear this! Take good care and get better soon! I thought my mama and dad were the only people to refer to my body parts as to being on driver or passenger side! Must be because my mama is from Inverness - its a Scots' thing?!?
