Woke up and noticed Logan was slightly limping, he was fine last night even after being outside. But I figured maybe him from going crazy with his zoomies also been dealing with his allergies too so lately he’s licking his paw a lot. Now I see that he’s limping more..tried to check his left paw out but he won’t let me ...when he was asleep I got to check his legs and doesn’t seem like any of it was dislocated. He’s still eating, drinking, his bowel (TMI lol) still normal & still playing. I’ll be taking him to the vet soon. But in the mean time while waiting is there anything I can give him for the pain? I’ve seen Dog aspirin at PetSmart but didn’t wanna risk giving it to him until seeing the vet. I also tried putting an ice pack on it but instead he’d rather chew it [emoji30]

Can you spray his paw? If you can not look, he may have a cut, or cyst...Vetericyn, or something similar. Or, can you soak in the bathtub? Just deep enough to cover his feet,epson salts(don't let him drink it) or even vinegar... @2Bulldogsstuff

I’ll look for that spray.. I’m trying to epson salt but he doesn’t want to dip his paw in lol...but as far as far looking at it I didn’t see any cut but I could be wrong. I’m also thinking he probably sprained it?

If it is a sprain, epsom salt soak would help that, too.

I was thinking pulled muscle/sprain... Lambeau has one now and is favoring his right back paw... no signs of any injuries and this is day two— if continues past Friday I might call the vet for a look

You guys check between their toes can be Interdigital Cysts as EB are prone to it cause of their web feet. They can end up limping but still run n jump etc. Yes DUKE has a few!!! :cursing: licking his paws is a dead giveaway....

Treating them by soaking his paws.. :facepalm2:

(Just noticed [MENTION=8741]Manydogs[/MENTION] mentioned cyst..duhhh me lol)

If it’s Interdigital Cyst read the link below BUT.....Read the bottom part what people posted what they did. I too will never give 4-8weeks of antibiotics while these cyst comes back anyway. I’ve been soaking Duke paws with Alum spice and it’s working well so far.

I’ll give this a try again...every time I too he would take his paw as soon as it hits the water lol.

[MENTION=14618]2bulldogsstuff[/MENTION] Can you get him in the tub? if you can, put water in up to his "ankles" and stand him in there for 5 or 10. Add the epson salt to the water-do not let him drink.
