At home she is just fine without a crate, no bathroom issues or destruction of things, unless I accidentally forget to put the garbage away then I will come home to a mess.

I sure can, but probably not until tomorrow or so. One thing i will say is that I wouldn't leave her at somebody else's house, but rather get someone to stay with her in your home (thats what we did for years) or take her to a kennel and inform them about her difficulties. I really wish we would have tried the kennel sooner than we did. It really teaches them that you might leave but you'll also come back to get them

I would guess she probably strained something with the ice and snow. Although, I had a chessie/golden that came up lame and had lyme. So you never know. As far as the nervousness, I would get another dog to keep her company. LOL

Check it's nails?

My dog tends to break nails off after playing.

The vet says it looks like she may have bit her paw a little to hard or just stepped on something and injured it. He gave me some spray to help soothe her paws and help kill bacteria. Told me to just keep an eye on it and it should be okay. Thanks everyone!

Poor dog, I'm sure broken nails hurt. The vet said her nails looked great and I had them trim them while she was there :)

Ticks was horrible last season, I'm pretty sure they will test her for that next month at her regular check up. I would love to have another dog, but I feel I should wait until I find someone and settle down. It's hard dragging dogs back and forth places, or finding a babysitter.

Nope, just that Dermacool stuff. They told me everything looked good except the paw looked sore and tender. To me the paws look a lot better than they do in the summer when her allergies are at their worst.

when my dog was attacked by a pitbull they gave me rimadyl to give to her every 12hrs as they said the bite wounds weren't pretty even though they didn't break all the way through the skin plus she also had one of her toenails bit off by the other dog that was part of the attack (the pb had her neck the other mixed breed had her hind tonail which it bit off below the quick as they said they saw blood). she was on this stuff for 3 weeks as she was just in a lot of pain. I got some left over pills but will save them incase she has any problems again (being attacked etc).
