Yesterday at dog training Shula pulled a dewclaw. I don't know quite how it happened but before the beginning of the class all the dogs were running free. Shula was having a great time chasing about with all the other dogs but when I called her in she came back with her foot covered in blood. She had pulled one of her dewclaws and it was stuck out at right angles. I took her home and bathed it and poured Betadine on it, poor Shula it made her yelp.
Today I took her to the vet. They gave her a local anaesthetic and clipped the nail off. She then had an ante-inflammatory injection, also an antibiotic injection. The vet was very impressed with how good she was and gave her a treat. She was also weighed and was just under 16 kilos which is fine but she doesn't need to gain any more. We have had a very lazy day and she has had loads of fuss.

Coping with life after the loss of our little rescue dog.
About Me
- Georgie
- I am retired and living on the Costa Del Sol with my husband, three cats and Shula. The cats Pippa, Chia and Tich are nearly ten. We also feed two others, a stray called Tommy, and Oliver who really belongs to our spanish neighbour but seems to prefer our food. Note added : Unfortunately our beloved cat Chia died Christmas Eve 2011, so sad. We have now added another little rescue dog to our family she is called Sky. Note 2018 : All the cats are gone now just Shula and Sky, our rescue dogs. Spending half our time in Spain and half in UK, dogs love it wherever we are. Note We have given up the villa in Spain so now we are living in the UK together with Shula and Sky. Note Shula died 26/10/2023 and Ken 13/1/2024 just me now and Sky.
