My Lovely Angel Luna

YYAA!!! So glad to read that Luna's paw is getting better. Still sending tons of healing energy. ;)

Love and hugs, Lori

Thread hijack! I can't get away with this because I'm cute! :D lol

Vetericyn - where do I find it? Do I need an RX? Walmart pharmacy never heard of it. I bought the skin cleanser that was mentioned, but haven't been able to find this. Thanks.;)

I hope Luna is doing so much better and is there running around causing havoc anytime now.;) I will check back in a bit for the evening update. xxxx

From google I found it at Walmart :

I'm checking too!!! ;)

Well Marianne, I am hoping that your entire household is peacefully snoozing away by now. That would mean that Luna's paw is on the mend. Sweet dreams.:p I'll check in with you tomorrow. xxxooo

Good morning Marianne,
How is Luna this morning? Hope you all got a good nights sleep and that she is continuing to improve.

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Thanks gals for checking on us. So here's the morning report. Overall positive, but with some new wrinkles. :) :o

She is still not totally "herself," but behaviorally definitely better. She is staying in the same room with the rest of us, and alternating between her crate (which is normally her favorite safe and calm haven), or the floor, or even jumping up on the couch to nap at times. She can walk more normally, the paw is still somewhat swollen but less so and no longer tender to the touch -- she will let us manipulate it pretty freely.

The downside: although she is eating, it is not with her usual gusto even with all the pred onboard. Her poop this morning was well formed but it seemed as though there was a bit of a color change at the end that with my typical paranoia looked kinda dark red to me so now of course I am worried about gastric bleeding. And last but not least, we got up to find a sore between two toes that we think she has caused herself by licking. That area had looked OK yesterday, but she was licking her paw a little bit just at bedtime. I did notice and think, "Hmmmm...I might should do something about that" but I was so tired and wanted to sleep in my own bed and thought it could wait until morning. I do think she has done it herself rather than it being more sinister, so I've tried to tape a sock over it and as long as I can keep her away from it I will hope it looks better later today rather than worse. (And not to be left out, Peg the Lick Queen yeesterday started licking her leg again so there may soon be two sock-wearing dogs in the house...:rolleyes: :rolleyes:).

Hubby gets home a bit earlier today, so there would be time to take her in to the vet before they close if something worsens. But now I will shift back into a positive mind-frame again for my first good thing of the day and be very grateful that, overall, she is looking better.

I'm glad Luna seems to be improving and pray the trend continues! I hope her appetite comes back full strength soon, too. But showing an interest in food and activity is a good sign for sure!
