Emergency vet no help then? Could examine Hunter and see if he does have something in his paw or had an injury while you were out?

It could be a trapped nerve. Got hold of her and have given him a painkiller. Massaged his paw which seems to help.

Oops.
I find massage is very helpful. Just the relaxation can help your dog’s feeling of well-being, even if it’s not curing the problem. Snowie’s physio also recommends fascia loosening, which basically means rolling the skin gently. So, if you think it’s a pinched nerve, massage and fascia loosening is very helpful.
Lucky dog to be getting stem cell therapy. Best of luck for a successful outcome.

Thanks for the relaxation advice. A neighbour near me does Reki and she wil try it on Hunter. Yes he is one very lucky dog having the chance of stemcell. The vet we found is fantastic and now has 20 stemcell patients!

I think stem cell is the way to go and I’m glad you are going down this route for Hunter. I hope the lame paw was just a blip and that he’s ok x

Well Mr Hunter is back on form and destroyed my nice new merino wool beanie. His front paw appears OK and nothing untoward can be found. It was the paw where she had problems finding the artery to get blood out..so it could also have been cramp. The stemcells can also contribute to some extra swelling.
Thank you again everybody for the kind words and support. We just love him so much and want the best for him. He looked so miserable and sad on Saturday. I think my beanie was his way if telling me off for no food and the sedation! I can live with that!
So onwards and upwards again!!

He now has kennel cough! My poor little man. He is also vaccinated for this and has not been to a kennel. Apparently a little epidemic in our area.
It's like flu or colds you can get it because the strain you use to vaccinate might not be in your area.
