The news from my vet is that I do NOT have a Lyme flare up and he didn't have a reason for my limpies. Mom knows exactly what is going on. As I'm getting older, my hyperkeratosis is getting worse and it's causing me more pain when I walk, especially outside crossing the rough driveway to get to the grass.
Because we have wall to wall carpeting here, we need to protect Landlord Bob's rugs so mom bought toddler's socks for me. Mom is going to keep me lathered up with paw balm and see if that helps.
I don't have to wear the socks all the time but she said that I have to wear them until the balm gets pretty much absorbed into my dry cracked paw pads.
We did go for a short walk on Sunday morning and mom didn't think that I was really enjoying myself as I kept looking at her as if to say, when will we turn around and head back home?
There is no cure for hyperkeratosis. We have to deal with what we have and mom wants to be sure that I am not in any pain. As the colder temps approach, maybe I can wear my boots on morning walkies and we can see how that goes.
Thank you everybuddy for all of your well wishes and POTP. My limpies are gone and we will get through this one day at a time.
Love ya lots♥
Molly
Awww, we feel sad for you. It would be no fun to have to walk on painful paws. Hopefully your mom's special paw treatment will help you to feel better.

ReplyDeleteHaving walked on sore paws myself, Molly, you have my full understanding! Mum is taking extra special care of you though - and I think the sockies are a neat fashion statement! Sending lots of POTP, hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Lulu: "You don't look thrilled, but your booties are nice Easter colors, at least!"
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "Dennis used to tell us how our brother Tucker who we never met had to wear booties a lot of the time to protect his toesies when he had toenail trouble. So you are in good company, at least!"
We're glad to hear you are feeling better Molly, but we'll keep our paws crossed that you stay that way, too.
ReplyDeleteI know mom will do everything she can to make you as comfortable as possible.

ReplyDeleteYou do look darn cute in your pretty socks sweet Molly. That doesn't sound like a fun problem to deal with but I know your Mom will figure it out.
ReplyDeleteMolly you look like a fashionista in your cute little socks. Hope your little feet feel better soon. ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteyou look cute in the socks and they are pratical
ReplyDeleteWe sure hope your feet get some relief from the balm and socks. I remember angel Joey dog was very protective about his feet and didn't like anyone messing with them.
ReplyDeleteDear Molly, I'm sorry to hear that hyperkeratosis has no cure, but thanks to your amazing mom, she's like your personal health specialist! Bless her! I hope the balm works with time and diligent application, it worked for my callouses though I have no paws. I like your fancy socks cos they are so pretty, but I pray you don't need them very soon.
ReplyDeleteSoft Hi-fives, Julia
