Tootsy was very quiet when she woke up today and did not want to play or run around. We thought at first that she might not have slept well and so did not feel concerned. We noticed that she was licking her paw so we had a look at it and it seemed absolutely fine. Later on in the morning she started to limp badly and by late afternoon she was not able to put that leg on the ground. She started to shiver so I wrapped her up and sat with her until she had stopped shivering. Now she is panting and the pad under her foot is swollen and I can see that her foot is red. I am so worried about the panting as it is so unusual. I have taken off the blanket but she is still panting and her little body feels hot. She is just lying down and not doing anything else. I keep encouraging her to drink water. This afternoon she ate her food and had her half cup of goats milk that I give her daily. I only have adult asprin and they are the soluable type and not buffered. Should I give her a tiny dose of one tablet? I am so worried as she got worse so quickly. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks. I will be taking her to the vet first thing in the morning when they open.
