Oh Ms. Molly...

We noticed Ms Molly was limping a bit yesterday evening, didn't really think a whole lot about it, just figured she pulled something in her foot or leg and would let her rest it for the night. Woke her up this AM and noticed that one of her toes were quite swollen and she was not putting any weight on it. UH OH off to the vet we went...the whole family had to go on this trip, as there was no way she was going to be able to use the step we have on the truck for her and there was no way I was going to be able to lift all 73 pounds of her in to the back. Vet decides that she has something stuck in her toe pad and it has gotten infected, they will need to take her to the procedure room, give her some sedation, open up the toe pad, drain it and clean it and see if they can get what ever out (if its still in there) About 45 mins later they bring me back a loopy, still out of it Molly with a bright green bandage on her paw, needless to say she was not a happy puppy. If you wanted to get a chuckle for the day all you had to do was watch Erik and I trying to get a half sedated 73 pound lump in and out of the back of the truck. I am sure all the neighbors had a nice chuckle. We now have 14 days of antibiotics, 5 days of anti-inflammatory meds, and 3 days of 2x a day foot soaking we have to do. I am sure that will be FUN! Molly is NOT amused.
