When I arrive home from work today he was a different dog.. energy was up. And he came running to the door to greet me .. on all 4 legs like he usually does. Very odd

Well the positive news is he has shown some decent improvement overnight, he has been walking on it again, still a limp, but yesterday he wouldn't even touch it to the ground. I had to carry him out for bathroom breaks. Still warrants a trip to the vet, unless when i get home he is by some...

If I don't see improvement by morning he will be at vet tomorrow

It feels warm if I touch the top side of the paw. It is odd that it seems to have come up sort of slowly... I just am terrified if something is torn. he does t want me to touch the area between the fingers and the wrist so upsetting

Also to add when u had him out for a pee when he came in I was able to ask for a shake a paw and he is able to lift the leg. He can bend the 'wrist' on his own.

He is like 3 and a half

I know it will be tough to answer.. but while I wait.. My boy has came up with a lame front paw. It was gradual a very minor limp one day went to a little limp and today he is reluctant to touch it to the ground. I dont see any wounds. There is a small abrasion around his nail but he gets that...

It seems slow but with the change of diet and added some fish oil, he seems to be less irritated. Winter time is always dry skin time. It looks to not be as raw now and hair is coming back. Will keep updated. Thanks again all

Hello all, This has been great to read. Apparently for a long time we had him on Salmon and rice, and i subscribed for auto delivery to my house and got chicken. mind you that has been for the better part of a year now. But i quickly picked up a bag of salmon and rice and he is on that now. We...

It is the 30/20 chicken and rice

Please see photos. He has been eating Purina pro plan performance 30/20 for 2 years now He did a bit of this biting before but never like this bad.

Well Im expecting my first Human baby in a few short weeks. ANy tips? My dog is fine around children, loves the sitting there and getting pet by children infact. He is gentle with my cats. A bit 'forward' or overzealous with the tongue and sniffing. He can definitely sense something is about to...

Thought I would share a few of my Boy I have taken recently. About 2.5 years old now.

Honestly not too bad. Just let him sniff them then slowly worked up to wearing them while eating and then on leash walks. I still only leave them on while he is on long line or leash. But by the summer time I think he will be comfortable
