🥴 Interdigital Cysts 🥴

🤔 What are they?

* Fluid-filled bumps between the toes. They are not true cysts but are inflamed hair follicles.

🤔 What are they caused by?

* Most commonly, environmental or food allergies.
* Bacterial infections.
* Sometimes foreign objects like grass seeds.
* Mites.
* Being overweight which misaligns footing causing more friction & irritation.
* Sometimes genectically mishapen paws.

🐾 What can you do about them?

* DO NOT LET YOUR DOG CONTINUE TO LICK THEM! You may need to utilize the help of a cone when unsupervised or booties.

* Let's start with the basics. If the paw isn't too inflammed, a basic soak of Epsom salts & warm water (ratio: 1/4 cup epsom salts to 1 cup water) helps to dry the cyst out & relieve the pressure. Repeat this twice a day for 4-5 days. Dry the paw & apply a barrier cream like a natural paw balm or coconut oil. Again, do not let them lick them.

* If you are not seeing improvement in the 1st few days of soaks, the cyst looks bigger, more inflammed, changes color, please go to your vet as it may be infected or have a foreign object in it.
They may need antibiotics or a medicated shampoo such as Malaseb.

💓 Long term maintenance.

* If your dog continously is getting these, you need to address their gut health & food sources as this is an external warning of an internal issue.

* Certain seasons require more vigilent barrier creams for sensitive paws to create a barrier.

🐾 The not so innocent behaviors 🐾

"Your dog isn't a problem so much as they cause problems." Noone wants to hear that but it should be taken as information of where your dog needs extra training.

😳 Runs up to every dog & starts hu***ng them.
😳 Barks in dogs faces constantly & bites at their legs.
😳 Does not regulate their energy & keeps going when other dogs are telling them they need a break.
😳 Shoulder bashes every dog out of the way to get to what they want to get to.
😳 Excessive licking of other dogs private areas.
😳 Steals dogs toys over & over, ignoring warning signs from others.
😳 Jumps all over dogs that have no interest in interacting.
😳 Yanks you over to every other dog on lead & puts their neck over the other dogs neck.

🤷‍♀️ While these seem like "things dogs do", alot of these things are actually rude & can cause your dog to be attacked because they aren't listening.

🐶 Have a solid recall under distraction.
🐶 Monitor your dogs social interactions well & call off to reset, then release.
🐶 Don't have toys out at home if they will be creating tension.
🐶 Don't allow on leash greetings.

😒 Sometimes your dog is just going to be the pest. It is just who they are. They need to have stricter training to keep them safe & also not be put in situations that they can inadvertently get themselves into trouble.

And we have a breakthrough!💓

🥰 Stella decided that today was the day she wanted to play! This is a big deal for her. She is genetically a very nervous & insecure dog, who takes a long time to trust anyone & to relax. Over the past few weeks she has been on lots of paired walking sessions with 1 different dog at a time to see who will bring her out of her shell.

🐾 Of all dogs to bring out play in her....Hob & then Ted. Hob used to be the scaredest little foxy we've met. He is now 1 of our most confident little helpers, often playing with the biggest dogs. Ted is our little class clown terrier, who is amazing at regulating other dogs play levels & having a fun time always.

🥰 Good things take time. Developing the right relationships makes for better friendships with dogs, instead of random dog park stranger meet & greets where things can go either way.

🥰 So happy for you Stella. Long may the happy play times continue.

🐾So grateful to be able to spend so many years with dogs. Walking, playing, learning. Dog's can teach us alot about better managing our time & behavior.

🥴 "i just want my dog to...."

🐺 If your dog is minding it's own business playing with toys it likes, other dogs should not be standing over them staring, threatening them for the toy they already have possession of or stealing their toy, then you get mad about it if your dog has a go. It was not your dogs problem to be told off over.

🥴 This absolute nonsense of "i dont want my dog to growl if they have a toy & another dog wants it" or "i want my dog to play ball & let others play too" is getting a bit silly now. If your dog is an extreme resource guarder & that is just in their nature, you cannot just leave them with other dogs & resources & expect them to be fine about it. They dont have to nor want to share. Supervise & tell the other dog to go away or don't have any resources out.

🙌 They should not be put in a position to act on their own nature to sort it out. Dogs will act like dogs. Some dogs don't value toys that much & will happily just let other dogs have toys. Many dogs do not like the feeling of their things being taken away.

🐾 Know your dog & act accordingly. Dogs will be dogs. It's not a "training issue" as much as it's a knowing your dog & advocating for them issue.

🐾💓There will always be dogs & dogs make the world a great place 🐾💓

🐶 Look who's come to stay! Sally!

She is also now a therapy dog who visits rest homes with her owner Vicki & absolutely loves it! Who would've thought the terrified little soul would bring so much joy to others. Her friends were all happy to see her again & she is having a great day despite the stormy weather.

Sometimes dogs can really surprise us if we give them the right support & environment to thrive in. Vicki is continuing to do a great job with her & we are so glad to still be able to see her.

Bless you always dear Sally 💓

🐶 Poor lil Fin had an accident at home a few weeks back where he badly damaged his back, which in turn made his rear end very weak. He has been on strict crate rest, started hydrotherapy with Hydropaws & we have been continuing his maintainence exercises to regain strength & stability. He is also very happy to be back to having some therapy dog time with his bestie Meg the Leonberger.

💓 Strict on lead only time to prevent jumping, playing or running & landing awkwardly.

💓 Short sessions of exercises & massage.

💓 Crate rest.

Stick to the plan. Win better prizes. Good boy Fin 🐶
