Baby Gilly (okay, she's a 9 year old doberman, but she's our baby) hurt her paw last night. It looks like a puncture wound in the soft tissue between the toes on her back right leg. She was/is holding the entire leg up from the hip joint. It was bleeding last night, I put peroxide on it and it looks clean. She had trouble getting our of her crate this morning - her usual stiffness plus the paw made it very hard for her. She's not running a fever, has an appetite, although she doesn't want to stand to eat "just" her regular dog food, but she hobbled over to check it out. I get no pain reaction from her when I push all over her leg and hip, so I'm hoping it's just this wound. Maybe she sprained something when she hurt it. We don't know exactly when it happen, all of a sudden dbubley saw her limping around her house. She called me right away and I had to go down and get her because she wouldn't go through the dog door.

If she's not doing better by the time I get home tonight, we'll take her to the vet in the morning. Poor baby. Even though it was hard for her last night, she did manage a three leg jump up on the bed so she could say "good night to stonebender.
*insert "awwwwww"* here.
