Dog Lady Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 After a nice walk with the kids and the dogs, on the way home my 16yr GS was walking like a crab, I let her rest a bit and she does walk a tad sideways due to bad hips. I even tried to carry her some of the way but apart from her being heavy, she didn't appear to want me to carry her. It was a slow walk back but once home I noticed the carpet and lino in the kitchen had blood traces on them. Must have just happened, as we never saw this on the side walk. I checked out Lucy, and her pads on the dragging side were bleeding, I feel so bad! She has never done that before, perhaps it is time to take shorter walks. Any advice?

AK dog doc Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 You might try booties, like those used on sled dogs, to protect her feet for future walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
