On Thursday My Dog’s Front Right Leg Started To Become Very Sensitive. I Took Her…
On Thursday my dog’s front right leg started to become very sensitive. I took her to the vet where they said she had just torn some tissue. They prescribed her two different pain medicines and they seem to be working. As of an hour ago that leg randomly starting oozing this grey, bloody discharge. In the beginning there was a lot but it has slowed down quite a bit, still it hasn’t stopped.

Sarah I would call my vet right away, or if they aren’t available I would at least call a 24 hour vet to get some sort of professional opinion if you don’t get a response from a medical professional on this website. I hope everything is ok!

Dawn Ferara, DVM Sounds like she had an injury that wasn’t seen and it abscessed. Get her to the vet in the morning.

Today Out Of The Blue My 7 Year Old Female Collie Starting Limping And It…
Today out of the blue my 7 year old female Collie starting limping and it has gotten worse throughout the day.
She isnt in pain or distress and is not off her food, just unable to put weight on her front left paw.
Its been about 8 hours now and shes gone from being able to put a little weight on it to walking on only 3 legs.
Im thinking it could possibly be a bee sting but was looking for advice????

Jana Firstly, I would beg to differ about the pain; there is a limp because there is a pain. Now, a limp in a front leg can be for a long list of reasons, sting could be one of them. Foreign body in the foot, infection in the foot … is there any swelling? But there could be an injury anywhere else on the leg and there even could be a neck issue resulting in a front leg limp (Jasmine had that).
If you’re comfortable doing that I’d start with a thorough inspection of the foot, toes, nails, looking for any swellings, lesions, nail injuries, foreign bodies … If you don’t find anything on the foot, it could still be the foot (Cookie had a piece of a purcipine quill embedded between the toes which was totally invisible until finally it got pushed out with pus. But it also could be something else all together.
My recommendation is if you don’t find anything obvious, see a vet. If you do find something obvious, you still may need to see a vet.

debra yuhasz Dogs express pain very differently than people do and they are not usually big babies about it. If not walking on that foot eases the pain she may have no symptom other than not walking on that foot. Since it’s been getting worse over the past eight hours I suggest you see a vet. Even if you examine her and find the problem it’s very likely she’ll require some kind of treatment even if it’s just antibiotics or antihistamines.

Wendy Ylen Not good! You should get him to a vet for an X-ray to determine if he did indeed eat the battery. There is corrosive material inside batteries that could cause a lot of tissue damage inside if the battery starts to leak or the battery itself could cause an obstruction. Sometimes you can look in their mouth & see where there are mouth sores from the battery- there could be sores on the tongue, inside of cheeks. Your dog should see a vet ASAP to ensure he is safe from the acid & an obstruction.
My Dog Cut Her Foot. It’s Beyond Super Glue. I Don’t Know What To Do…
My dog cut her foot. It’s beyond super glue. I don’t know what to do. Taking her to the vet is out of the question. I have no money this week. My boyfriend has taken care of dogs his whole life. His family was breeders. He is going to caulderize the wound. He isn’t off work yet. What can I do to help her stop bleeding?

Dawn Ferara, DVM Apply direct pressure to the wound, cauderizing can be dangerous if you don’t know what your doing!
If the ear is that bad you need to see a vet for medication.
