Paws
Who knows where this poor dog has been walking before finding us but now, and in the future, their paws will receive frequent cares. After the bath, maybe, or in the pause of a game, the master will find the way to control the state of the feet periodically.
During the summer, for example, they arise inflammations in their paws: the animal moves with difficulty and it limps in a very notorious way.
When the inflammation is light washing with water and soap will be enough in some cases but if it burdens the dog, seeks advice to proceed to the old cure of the compress of alcohol. It is necessary to take a big piece of cotton, to soak it in alcohol and to apply it in the button of the paw. The compress is effective if the dog is maintained in its place during half hour at least therefore it is necessary that the animal is lying down and that somebody maintains it still.
If its formed small abscesses it will be necessary to go to the veterinarian. Another problem: the bursitis. It is an inflammation, quite common, of the elbows and the knees, that is to say, of the previous and later articulations. As always the dog should remain in repose; the veterinarian will prescribe the baths and compresses if necessary. In the articulations can be formed tripe. If they grew in an abnormal way or they caused pains, it will be necessary to intervene.
