Hey bully lovers!
My 8 month old is limping or hobbling. At first we thought he may have sprained his leg, from jumping off a bed, couch or running around. 2 weeks ago he was limping but i had him take it easy and he felt better. Yesterday it started happening again. I looked inside all of his paws, no redness or anything i can see to be removed. While he was resting, i started just touching his paw pads and i noticed that when i touched his left one he pulled it away instantly. Comparing it to the other pads, it is hard, round and plump. I think they are swollen but i dont see anything in it.
Last night i gave two benedryls, his anti-bacterial medicine ive been giving for a different skin problem thats gone, and dipped the paw in water/apple cider vinegar and let dry. Today i was going to go get epsom salt and have him soak in that.
Is there anything that i can give to provide more immediate relief? Can i give ibuprofen? He's about 43 pounds.
Thank you!
