He thinks she got it back in place on her own. Then when he was checking her foot, she was in a lot of discomfort. He shaved her foot (She now has a poodle cut on that foot) and checked it over carefully and could not find a thing wrong, except that she was crying when he touched certain parts. He even had a vet tech come in to help look because he said he's color blind and doesn't see red. She found an area that looked slightly red, but nothing extreme. So, I'm to put hydrocortizone cream in between her toes and watch her for any limping or favoring on that leg. So, at least Maddie isn't in that terrible pain any more. I felt so bad for her. Once today, when it was hurting her so bad, she took off running on 3 legs as if she was trying to run away from the pain, crying the whole time, but then had to stop and lick on that area. She's sleeping now. I think this whole ordeal wore her out. So, I don't know for sure what was wrong with her, but I can tell you all that she is much, much better and I shall be babying her something awful! Thanks for your concern!!!

YorkieUSA...I can imagine how scared you were when that happened with you chi! I'm so glad that turned out okay!
