Hi Try and find a vet that understands "sound like a race horse" rather than the local "wow it's a miracle it walks" vet. Your local coursing clubs will know if there is anyone in your area. Dr Radcliff is a godsend! He is nearish Pittsburgh (I haven't used him but many friends have...)
Then get a work up. A good vet will evaluate the whole dog and tell you the good (or bad--it's "retired for a reason racer"...) news and how to wrap the foot if needed...And you will have gained an invaluable resource! Hopefully something simple like petroleum jelly will solve your problems...but the toes are rubbing for a reason! Good Luck and Welcome to the Insanity! Ta Carol who has a whippy with a dislocated toe--luckily it was easy for the vet to pop back in and she only needs splinting and hand walking for 3 weeks--then a soft bandage for a few weeks. Of course this was 1 week before an OB trial where I was hoping for the 3rd CD leg...she was 4th in a large all breed Nov B class last leg. So we wait till the next cluster of shows! And crate and hand walk and keep the splint dry and massage.... -- Creative Clutter is Better Than Idle Neatness! ------------------------ Yahoo!
