I hope that the List has some answers. I have a 9 year old that
approximately 8-9 weeks ago began limping in the front. When I checked her I
saw a small
open sore on the inside of the foot pad ( non-weight bearing ) measuring
approximately 1/4 inch. It appeared as thought she had scrape the inside part
of
the pad with something sharp. I did not notice any blood around and was
surprised but the wound was raw.I had not noticed her excessively licking the
area
prior but she has since. Anyhow, I treated it locally but it would not heal.
My regular vet was out and so we took her to a vet in the area who felt
that it was traumatic in origin. The vet put her on antibiotics, took x-rays
to
make sure there were no other causes for her limping and told us to continue
the local wound care. The area quieted down a bit but still would not heal.
She kept licking.Ten days ago we took her to our regular vet who placed her on
antibiotics and told us to continue the local treatment and keep her foot
pad wrapped and cover ( which of course has been difficult at best). The wound
has enlarged a bit and of course is not healing.
I need your collective experience. I have just recently read about a "
non-healing lick granuloma"....could this be it..... as a surgeon, whenever I
have
a non-healing wound I always worry about cancer.....Any help will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
