Beechfield.
When I rang the vet yesterday to book Lucky an appointment they were unable to take us until 16:50 today. (We had a double bank holiday Monday and Tuesday) I was concerned at the delay so gave Lucky 125 mg amoxcillan and by the time we got there this afternoon the swollen toe was starting to decrease in size. Surprise surprise it was a wound and not a nail bed infection so Ross had been correct when he thought he saw Coco bite Lucky on Sunday morning. (They were only playing) I have known nail bed infections inflate very quickly but until now this sort of swelling on a wound was unknown to me. I have to say I am very pleased that it was a wound and not an infected nail bed as pups that have this sort of problem seem to carry them into adulthood. I’ll have to work hard to make up lost time over the weekend.
