Here we are. I look good, right?? There was another doggie there that wasn't put any weight on one of his paws either. We found out he tore his ACL when he tried to jump off the bed! Ouch!
Turns out I have some allergies, and I had been licking and licking and licking a rash in between my paw pads and caused a little irritation. So all weekend long I had to lay down and RELAX. It was so darn hard!
I have some pre-posted posts (you know what I mean) for this week, but know I am laying low, keeping my paws clean and being served like the princess I am! Have a good week folks!
Oh dear, we hope you feel better soon. Our Norbert had a similar issue once. He scraped his paw pad at a concrete dog park and licked and licked it until he had a big ouchie and was limping

Play it for all it's worth Finnacles!!! Of coarse now the folks have to work out what you are allergic too!
ReplyDeleteAwww, sorry to hear you're not at your best, Finn. Taking it easy is hard work but very good for you so you do what the doctor ordered, okay? We want you to feel better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! Milk it for all it's worth
ReplyDeleteNola
Paw licking is better than nail biting! Be careful, they'll put a sock on you ;)
ReplyDeleteWe hope your itchies heal soon, Finn. Maybe you could get some booties to wear.

The itchies are not funny, right?
Take care
Kisses and hugs

My dad's beagle has allergies too, and he chews on his paws.

Oh Finn, I am so glad it is nothing more serious. (Not that allergies and rashes aren't serious) but at least it wasn't a broken bone.
ReplyDeleteTake Care

Hope you are feeling better soon Finn!
ReplyDeleteOh know! Not allergies! We know how tough it can be to not touch your itchies Finn. Lay low and get better sweetie! :)
ReplyDeleteFinn! Get well soon! Do they know if it's a food allergy or what kind of allergy it is. I hope whatever kind of allergy it is -- that they find a way to get rid of whatever is making you lick your paw. Get well soon! I know laying around the house doing nothing is hard work! Humans just don't seem to realize how hard that is!
ReplyDeleteOh No Finn! I'm sorry that you have some issues with your paw! We know how that feels! Hope you get lots of rest and your paw feels better very soon!
ReplyDeleteFell better soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have not been well BUT on the upside (and we like that you saw the silver lining) you are being waited upon as all loved furkids should be!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!

ReplyDeleteI do hope you get to feeling better soon and your paw heals up! Trudie licks her paws everynight before she goes to sleep, I will need to tell her what happened to you so she stops it...also mom told her daughter who is going to have a girl grandmonster about yur name, and she turned her nose up...mom thought it would be cute...she didn't ......I am sorry I thought she would choose Finn......
Get better soon!
Stella Rose

Maybe you can help me out? I CONSTANTLY lick my paws and "bite" my back (it's not fleas) and so do you think I have an allergy?
ReplyDeleteI hope you is doing better!
Cotton
Finn, I am sorry to read that. I am also a paw licker and bite at myself. I have all kinds of allergies and have to take benedryl, but it doesn't help much. I hope you are soaking your paws and resting
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Hey Finny. Are you all better now? I caught Buchi licking his little boy area a little too much and we had him use the cone of shame. Good that the vetty didn't have you wear one.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was hoping you could do me a favor and help me reach out to your bloggie friends for the giveaway I have posted in mydogslove.me. This will be very much appreciated.
Huggies and Cheese,

It's definitely that time of year! Wilson licks and chews his front legs a lot, it always starts around the end of July into August, and goes away after a good frost. Fortunately he has broken the skin. It went away while we were in Myrtle Beach last week so I know it's something local.
ReplyDeleteHope Finn is feeling better asap!
We hope you're starting to feel better sweet Finn!
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing happen to me when we were in Florida a while back. I got a bacterial infection and had to take yucky pills and even wear a sock! Hey a sock is better than the cone of shame any day!!
Hugs,
Lily Belle
Sorry you gots a hurt paw Finn. I'm sure it was hard for you to sit still. I tend to lick my paws excessively too. Mom has an anti-fungal spray she puts on them.

Just catching up on my blog reading and am sorry to hear about your ACL and your itchy paws - here's some instructions for Mom and Dad to help you with that issue Finn ... first - have them cut away as much of the fur between the pads of your paws as possible with some blunt-end scissors - this will cut down on the moisture that gets stuck in there - don't worry Finn - it doesn't hurt ... next we need to kill that bacteria and/or yeast that has a nice little warm home there - plus if your little paws smell sweet - that's a sure sign something is going on between those cute little pads ... the simplest thing to do is to put Gold Bond Medicated Powder between the pads several times per day - this will keep them dry ... here are two topical sprays which can be ordered on line - Vet's Best Natural Health HOT SPOT SPRAY which is tea tree oil and aloe this will take longer to heal the feet - the other is PET'S BEST HEALING AND PROTECTION SPRAY which is an antimicrobial/antiseptic spray - this works like a charm - go to www.vetsbest.com for the tea tree spray and go to www.qbased.com for the Healing spray.

Oh gosh, that does not sound like much fun at all, but thank goodness it wasn't YOUR ACL. Yikes. I sure hope you're all better by now.
