Kipper’s got a limp

[Beanwood]

@snowbunny We use magnesium sulphate as a poultice to draw anything from a wound. It's just magic stuff and very, very cheap from any chemist. It worked a treat on Bramble when she had a nasty thorn in her paw, and me with a splinter in my finger.

The easy way to remove a splinter from a toddler!!

I think splinters are horrid, I really hate getting them let alone prising the things out. As a parent I hate it even more when one of the L...

@HAH poor Kipper! To help him feel more comfy I would have him on more or less complete rest for a least a week, then just very, very short walks. I know it's hard but with niggling muscular injuries they take much more rest than we think.

Oh Kipper I hope you get over this soon, handsome boy. And Shadow too.xx

 

[Bruer]

Hope you see an improvement soon x

Sorry to hear about Kipper, @HAH , definitely a few days rest, and if you think he's in pain you can give paracetamol if you haven't got any dog anti inflammatories ( which I guess most people won't have knocking around )

Fingers and paws crossed for Kipper and Shadow x

Well we do. And can't use them.
If anyone could make use of some Previcox, happy to post them out.
We on the other hand had to phone the vet this morning to ask for some Tramadol. Poor Lilly seems to have a heavy limp on the back right after some zoomies yesterday.

How is Kipper today @HAH

 

[snowbunny]

Maybe your vet is doing something like this and you could pick up some ABs?

I can buy ABs in the local pharmacy without prescription. It's looking OK for now, cleaning it with Hibiscrub and using an antiseptic spray regularly.

Oh, good to know, thanks! I'll get some of that when I'm next at the pharmacy x

You are kind, he’s not surprisingly fine-ish (the odd suspect nod). He’s had 1 short walk and we’re going to follow @Beanwood ’s sage advice with extended rest x

I always find that a few days of short walks helps a Harley when she has episodes of limping. Glad Kippers limo is as bad today

 

[Candy]

Glad he's a bit better! Sounds very similar to what happens to GGJ from time to time, same leg too! She really does seem to benefit from a few restful days.

Hope Kipper is feeling better after some rest and smaller walks.

Is he @HAH?

 

[HAH]

Thanks for asking @VanillaBean and @Selina27 ! He’s stopped limping or showing any signs of weakness, which is great. He has become a lot more vocal, which I think is the change in routine - we’ve played a lot of gentle games and had a few slow obstacle courses in the garden which he likes but I think I need to do more. All good though!

Thats so good to hear @HAH xx

How is she today @Jacqui-S

How is she today @Jacqui-S

She seems okay thanks Cath.
She didn't seem to limp on her earlier walk yesterday so we let her off for a bit, and seemed fine, though was behaving "sensibly" .
Quiet day today for her so just a short walk later.

[VanillaBean]

and totally forgot about Lilly. Glad she is feeling better and not sure about the behaving 'sensible'. False security...
