What I did to deserve this??

Well.... I licked... and licked... and licked my paw.

But I am very smart because I did it when my grandparents were not looking at me so they thought the problem had disappeared.

Nope. It did not disappear. It got worse.

My grandma called my mom and when she came home today afternoon she took me to the Vet. He checked my paw and it was very irritated. He cleaned it and applied an ointment and then he put me the bandage. He gave my mom an spray to be applied 4 times a day. He says this should be enough but... if I insist on licking it.... I will have to wear a headcone! Oh-oh!



Yummy homemade chicken jerky....

I will try to be a good girl.... promise!


Have a good night

we think your polkadots on your bandage are very, very stylish! And we sure hope that your paw heals quick as a whippet and that is sure quick!

Awww...it's such a bummer to have irritated paws! But I think you look very cute in your blue bandage-sock, Lorenza! Hope your paw gets better real soon! *grins*

Avery Jack said...

Oh no! Not the dreaded sock! I once had to wear shoes because I kept licking my feet and they got irritated too. I can totally feel your pain. Good luck!

Chi Kisses,

Please Lorenza, get better really soon! We have to say though, we think you look cute and very in style with the sock! We don't want you to wear a cone though so please don't lick!! Get better soon!! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly

Niamh said...

Sorry to hear about your paw Lorenza. Ambrose sometimes licks himself too much and gets hotspots but usually on his rear end not his paw! We hope that it gets better soon so that you won't have to wear the satellite dish on you head. It would not look good with your dresses.

Your friends,
Niamh & Ambrose

Cocorue said...

Lorenza, NO MORE licking please or the hideous cone will be your companion! BUT if you can't help it, then ensure they get you a designer cone!!!

nothing else will do!

Poor baby! My old Saint Bernard had surgery on her elbow when she was a young girl. She shattered all the bones when she ran into a truck (yes, she ran int o the truck). They bolted and screwed it all back together and applied a cast. It was a lovely pink one and we brought her home and helped her to her large bed on the floor. The next morning the cast was in several pieces and Louise was limping around on three legs. When we took her back she got a purple one and the biggest head cone imagined!! She hated it. She couldn't even walk through doorways. She kept knocking her food and water dishes over. Be a good girl and stop licking...... you do not want a cone!

Thor and Jack said...

Lorenza, não lambe as tuas patinhas por favor. Nós não queremos ver você usando o cone! Fica boa logo!

Jans Funny Farm said...

We think you should behave so you don't have to wear a head cone. But if you do, we hope it will be one of the soft, floppy ones so you don't knock yourself out jumping on the couch. (Buddy nearly did that jumping on the bed once when Jan had him in a stiff collar.)

Unknown said...

Poor Lorenza! Today was certainly the day fur Vet visits!

I hope your paw gets better really SOON!!

Hailey said...

I'm sure if you had a new dress to accent that sock, you'd forget about licking it in a minute! And probably make the cover of Dogue magazine!

lotsa licks (but not on the paw), Lola

Dexter said...

Little Friend,

I think the cone is in your future. I am sorry, but if you don't stop troubling your foot it could get bad sickies and fall off or something. Ask Grandma to make you a pretty head cone. Hehehe. Good luck.

Slobbers,
Mango

Charlotte said...

Oh, no! That is awful to have to wear the sock, but to be forced to wear the cone of shame - would be much worse!

We hope your paws heals quickly!

Marg said...

Lorenza, they sure have your number now. Hope it gets better really soon so you don't have to wear a bandage any more. That just isn't any fun at all. Take care and leave that paw alone.
Have a great day.

Oh dear, you do NOT want THE cone - Phantom can tell you that for sure. Please be a good girl and no more licking. But your bandage is very pretty with those polka dots. Hope your footsie gets better soon.

My Mind's Eye said...

Poor Lorenza I know having your paw bandaged is very bothersome...but I know for sure you don't want to have your picture on the blog wearing a lampshade...so try not to lick your foot. We hope it feels better very soon. Mom has lots of skin allergies that make her itch too. In fact she has an appt. with her dermatologist next week. If she puts a sock on her foot we'll post it. MOL
Madi and Mom

Teddy said...

Hee hee, was that your mom and grandparents scolding you?? You get lots of reminders! My mom sympathizes with you because she had a very itchy part on her leg and knows how impossible it is not to scratch it. It's hard to stop if it's bothering you. I hope the medicine works so you won't have to feel uncomfortable.

Little Miss Jada Kiss said...

Teddy Westlife said...

I think your bandage is cute, but you should totally take advantage of being bandaged up. Limp a lot and ask for many, many treats.

Stephanie said...

aw! I hope your paw feels better soon! I bet the itch must be driving you insane!

Jans Funny Farm said...

Lorenza, we hope you behaved today and left the sock on so you can't lick your paw.

♥Mona + Prissy + Angel Weenie♥ said...

Oh Lorenza, please try to be a good girl. You rally don't want to wear that nasty cone.

Ask Grandma to make you a new dress for every different sock you wear.

Good evening lorenza
At last, my Internet opened.
The foot of Lorenza hopes for the thing that improves early.
And, Japan is also hot.
With blue socks on the weekend taking care about the heat. (^o^)v

Flo de Sendai said...

Poooooooor little Lorenza !!!!!

C said...

I am pretty sure Fo would just eat that sock, so I do not want to give you any advice...but what's up with your paw anyway? allergies? bug bite?

Bijou said...

Hi Lorenza,

We think you should give your licker a rest so your paw can heal and you don't have to wear the dreaded cone of shame.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Koobuss said...

Oh, Lorenza! I'm sorry so see that you are back with the sock. And I even liked the pink one. Ya gotta leave your footie alone, mi amiga, because the last thing that you want to do is to wear a lamp shade. Then when you go for your walk all the other dogs will laugh at you. At least socks aren't funny. Sheesh...

Hope you get well soon!

Love and Lots of Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Oskar said...

While the bandage is a nice accessory, you really should stop. Your poor little paw would be happier!

sonia a. mascaro said...

Hi dear Lorenza,
I hope you stop to lick your paw very soon.

I will write a comment to your Mom in Portuguese because I don't know how to say it correctly in English, sorry. My English is "weak".

Alguns meses atrás, minha cachorrinha Flora também lambia uma pata e ficou com uma inflamação na pele. O veterinário nos perguntou se houve alguma mudança no cotidiano da Flora. Lembramos que já havia dias em que ela não saía para passear. Embora o nosso jardim seja grande, ela gosta mesmo é de colocar a guia e passear na avenida. Ele disse que a Flora estava lambendo a pata porque estava sem ter o que fazer, estava (bored) entediada. Ele também receitou um spray que passamos na patinha. Agora levamos a Flora passear todos os dias, nem que seja por uns vinte minutos. A Flora parou de lamber a pata.
Espero que o que contei possa ajudar.
Abraços.
