Poor Hubert. Took him for a walk and when we got back to the car, I noticed he'd ripped the skin right off the bottom of the main paw pad! Ouch!!Took him to the vet and he was bandaged up. He is now Hop Along Huey. The vet thought he looked like he had burnt it, as the skin hanging off was completely dead! Can't think how that could have happened other than it being a friction burn from when he chases his ball?? He can't go for a walk for a few days and has to have a plastic bag on his foot when he wants to go in the garden.
Wouldn't want to laugh at his afflictions but he has done some pretty funny things since he had it wrapped up. He was waiting for his tea, sitting there staring at me whilst I was on the phone to my Mum, willing me by psychic eye contact to feed him. He suddenly started waving his poorly paw in the air round and round in windmill motion and then later flapping it out to the side like a penguin.
Ruan seemed to think he needed extra feeding as he had hurt himself. Extra food and no walks doesn't sound the best combination!!
