Ouchie Ollie Friday!


Ollie: I have an ouchie. It's on my front right paw. #1 noticed it a couple of days ago and emailed a photo to Dr. C. She also noticed I was licking it so she put a sock on it. Dr. C called her back and told her that it looked like an infectious granuloma. She said I should put cortisone cream on it 2-3 times a day, and I should not be allowed to lick it, at all. She said the choice was between a sock and a cone of shame. Given that we are getting temps in the mid 30sC (90sF) at the moment, #1 figured that a sock would be the better option. She looked through her supplies and found an excellent one made of neoprene with a good velcro fastening, and on it went.

So this is what the ouchie looks like:


Here I am sporting my chic neoprene sock:


And I still managed to make a new friend. This guy was visiting Fernant. He is a whippet called Boy.


Stay cool and stay safe, everyone!

  10. Oh Ollie, I’m so sorry to hear about your ouchie and that you have to wear a sock. But it must be much less uncomfortable than the cone. I hope your paw will heal quickly!

  11. That looks very unpleasant. Hope the sock and the medicine together work their magic to get that healed up.
