Sorry folks, I'm absolutely fried and heading back to bed!
Poor Sherlock my puppy! His toenail has separated from the toe bed of his right front paw. It happened on Thursday, we heard a yelp outside and found Sherlock holding up his paw, like for a hand shake. DH called for him and Sherlock limped back into the house and hasn't stopped. He injured the same paw about a month ago, after three days he was back to his playfulness but not this time.
Yesterday we took him to the Vet who bent the nail back and puss came out. Poor baby! He's on antibiotics, pain meds and has to soak in Epsom salt for 5 minutes, everyday. He'll also need to wear a bootie when going outside. The Vet is hoping for a full recovery by Thursday and if not we'll need to take Sherlock back in for a new assessment.
I've been sleeping on the floor with him, last night felt like the AC was directly on my head & neck but it wasn't on. It's so cold here in MI, wth happened?!
