last week i had Kodiak at the vet for this mystery rash on his chest. The vet thought it might possibly be ringworm ... not sure i agree with that but she wanted to see him back in a week (which is today). well monday night i notice he has something on the left side of his snout. I grab his face and it looks like a big scab, hadn't noticed anything before, but i though, ok he's going to the vet wednesday, i'll just have her look at that as well, well the next day i get home from work and he's got the scab partly off and now it's an open sore. The only thing i can think of is when he's trying to break out of his kennel, he's sticking his nose through to pry the door open and he's rubbed it raw. Well last night i call him in from the kitchen and he's LIMPING!!! he limps into the living room and stands there holding his left front paw off the ground and doesnt really want to put weight on it. i'm just thinking what the heck is going on!!! i had him outside playing yesterday afternoon and he was fine, i dont know at all what would've hurt his paw/leg. I checked to make sure he didnt have anything stuck in his paw, didnt find anything, and i could move all his joints without him protesting, but if i reach for his paw, he pulls it away. WELL, looks like i'll be getting my money's worth out of this vet visit!!! Thanks for listening, just had to vent a bit, sometimes it feels like you're fighting a loosing battle
