I keep trying to say that chewie wouldn't even show the vet she was in pain. He knew by her reaction when he touched her paw, but she didn't make a single peep. I believe if it is an injury- not valley fever- that someone grazed her paw yesterday. She won't go near any one's feet right now except mine and it's a bit leery. If it weren't for the other things that have been presenting, fever would have been off my mind and I would be certain that's the case. Chewie is very smart (I know, I sound biased but really she's very bright) I've been watching her this morning. She started out limping badly and has progressed over the course of her waking up to walking on it, albeit shakily. She's been careful to stay away from my husband or daughter walking. Not that she's walking around a lot, she's been staying laid down most of the morning. She just came up as I was typing so she can move around and doesn't seem to have anything wrong with mobility- just the paw. On top of this- Chewie is a pointer. A pointer with her right paw, no less, so she's been SUPER frustrated this morning. Any way, it's the thoughts I have in my head. I'm not an expert on pet medicine, but I AM an expert on my little lady so at least there's that. Thanks again for letting me know about Callie. |
I didn't see the last part of your quote. Here we have stairs and landing pads. I can't make this happen at the other house, but I can ask husband to either have her off the furniture, or ask them to take a few stairs for her, OR just stop sending her all together- which would devastate her. She loves the dog Carly. Even though I think based on what she's doing it could have been a graze on her foot- I can't be positive, and she can't tell me. So I just have to treat it like it was that type of an injury so she doesn't do it again. While your information is appreciated, and thanks so much for telling me, I've been already looking at ordering a few stairs on amazon.
