This article has some really good pictures of corns - these are particularly bad ones, and a picture of a pad sliced through so you can see the corn inside - a bit gruesome!

Thanks for all your well wishes

She is OK today, she is feeling sorry for herself and wont put any weight on the foot but it must be sore. She is a very quiet gentle girl and is happy to lay on the couch which will give her foot a chance to heal.

I will be glad to see her back to normal :wub: :wub: :wub:

Thanks for that link Beth, it is very interesting. Thankfully, none of mine have suffered corns (yet! Famous last words and all that) but a friend had one of hers who developed corns and, despite having them surgically removed, they kept reoccurring so I think he had 2 toes amputated in the end.

Many thanks for that link. I'm going to take another look at Fred's pad. He always seeks grass verges to walk on rather than tarmac which is really making me start to wonder :unsure:

 

[~JO~]

Just been to the vets - and yes it is quite a large corn so he'll be having it surgically removed next monday, luckily my vet worked alongside a great greyhound vet who I quote 'taught everything there is to know about corns' so I have full confidence in him

Just very sad he has to have a GA He is such a worrier, I am going to get him sedated before I leave

 

[georgina]

Oh poor Stan - it is such a worry with GA but Lizzie came round really quickly - let us know how he gets on

Hope Lizzie's sore foot heals quickly - Willow sends a big whippet kiss to his mummy X

Hope Lizzie and Stan are recovering well :luck: :huggles:

 

[georgina]

Lizzie is OK, she is still on pain medication and able to walk on grass only - this has been painful for her - she has the stitches out next Tuesday so will keep you updated.

How is Stan?

 

[~JO~]

Stan has just been to the vets for a dressing change and he is doing very well. he has been putting weight on his foot from day 1 and it is healing very nicely

Unfortunately the only colour dressing they had was fluro PINK which Stan is not happy about :wub:
