GGJ is at the Vet's.

[Candy]

Thank heaven it isn't raining as it is the very devil keeping the bandage dry. I had a GSP who must have cut every paw on glass and spattered blood over the vet's waiting room. People complain about dog faeces but there is even worse rubbish thrown by people, ie glass GGJ sounds as if she has been a good, brave girl as has her mother

They've given me a plastic sock type thing to help keep it dry and she's on very limited exercise for now and back to the vet on Wednesday. We have had a snoozy and cuddly evening and its bedtime soon.

And yes, the notices that say 'Strictly No Dogs', when we always pick up, not only after our dogs but also the potentially dangerous litter left by the often dangerous humans, makes me quite mad. The vet and I had a joint rant about it today.

There's a product called Pawz it's a rubber sock and fits over the bandage. I used them when Rory hurt his foot. They were very good XX

 

[M.F.]

That’s a very pretty bandage!

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Poor you and GGJ! Sending and some late for quick healing. She does look adorable in her little pink wrap, so I imagine she'll get lots of good "aawwwws" and sympathy from everyone she sees. Enjoy your sardines, Joy!

 

[Cath]

How is she this morning @Candy ?
Sending GGJ more to help her.

 

[Selina27]

Sweet GGJ, what a brave girl. Yes awful that people leave such stuff around.

You will both miss your walks I'm sure, I hope things have been ok overnight

 

[Boogie]

Get well soon GGJ

 

[Granca]

Glad to see GGJ’s home again. Hope the paw heals soon.

Over the years I’ve tried so many different boots, some are ok, some not. The best thing I have found is cling film! If you wrap a few layers it stays on for ages.
I hope GGJ is ok this morning and not in too much pain x

The best boot I have every had, was a drip bag that the vet gave me. It stay on and kept Robbie's foot dry and clean.

 

[MrChew]

Hope your foot heals up fast GGJ!

 

[Candy]

The best boot I have every had, was a drip bag that the vet gave me. It stay on and kept Robbie's foot dry and clean.

Yes, a drip bag is what the vet gave me and it's worked OK so far but was slipping on the wet leaves this morning, so I might have a look at Pawz as mentioned by Swampy. Joy seems to have slept well, she's eaten her breakfast with her usual enthusiasm and has happily crunched her antibiotic tablet. She's waggy and affectionate, still perhaps a tiny bit subdued but not worryingly so. We'll just have a quiet and calm day (I hope!)

 

[Cath]

GGJ, I am glad that she is on the mend

I've used the Pawz with mixed results. In general they're great, but sometimes they just don't stay on well. I think it's down to the shape of the wrapping of the bandage, and where the wound is. Definitely worth a try though, because when they work, they work well.

 

[Emily]

Poor GGJ, I hope she heals quickly xx

 

[Natalie]

So sorry to hear about Joy, I hope she is back to normal very soon. xx

 

[MellowYellow]

I've found Pawz to be invaluable over the years. I have them in size large and medium, so they can be used with or without the bandage.

 

[Candy]

About half an hour ago Joy walked over to where her lead was hanging, gave it a lick then gave me The Look! Clever girl! We've had another ten minute on lead walk and I have ordered some Pawz, which should arrive tomorrow. While we were out a young woman who we've not met before said to Joy, 'I hope you get well soon'!

Good to read the GGJ is relatively well this morning and happy to go out.
