Annmarie09 5 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Two days ago Fly dog went slightly lame after a hard run, then seemed fine after a few minutes. Same again yesterday, when I noticed her toe is swollen. She's sound except for when she works hard. There are no marks, lumps, foreign bodies or anything that I can see. It is slightly tender to squeeze but the joint doesn't seem painful when flexed. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Giro 2,648 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 My pal swears by it but we do give them rymidal 50mg first dose and 25mg daily for further 4 days so it's mare likey the meds. Never done it as a stand alone treatment. I have more bad toes than owt medication helps dogs back to normal after seven days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
