Clumsy Cerby




I noticed a third eye on his forehead yesterday. This clumsy dog, I don't know what he is doing, but it is always something with him. ha ha.
There is also a bump between his back and his stomach. I don't know what it is but I will monitor it.

Wound was bleeding again

It was such a good day and then ...
I let him go outside without a bandage because it was getting better and better.
Both dogs were playing in the room with the bones and I guess that is where it happened, he either stepped on a bone or iceis was too rough, I think the first was the case.
I saw blood and was upset again, I really don't know how this is supposed to heal, how it should look like when it's healing. The doc said it wont grow back together cause he is walking and he is opening the would every time he makes a step. How should those two ends look like?
It is devastating to me, I want him to be healthy and if this will keep opening.
Hubby will make an appointment on Tuesday and take him to the vet. I can't do it no more, at least I couldn't do it today. :-(

Cut between toes :(





This is what happened:

The previous owners had this metal around 2 trees and the areas with the bushes. This metal was sticking out. Very bad idea. We didn't get a chance to take it out yet, plus it was really deep in the earth. Dogs were fine the whole time, but as we know Great Danes, they are clumsy.
Iceis is very careful and she would never step on it, he on the other hand is a clumsy big boy and like he doesn't know.
Past Saturday after playing in the afternoon I noticed Cerby's very red right-hand rear paw. After inspecting it, I saw a pretty big cut about 2 cm deep in between his toes. I looked up online what the first aid should look like. You can barely find something about a cut between toes online, all they have is cut on the paw. Anyways, I was rinsed it with salt water and put my antibiotic ointment on it and bandaged it.
What I didn't know is, when you bandage a dogs paw you should always put cotton between his toes so they won't get infected. Well his got red and I didn't know why until I found out.
Monday or Tuesday I took him to the vet and he told me there is no point in giving stitches cause it is a difficult area and it's longer then 24hrs ago. The stitches would open every time he would step on this paw. I should keep doing what I was doing and he gave me some antibiotic pills for him.

He weights now 113.8 lbs with 7 months, he is a big boy :-) a brave one.

My mom gave me the advise to rinse his paw with chamomile tea it helps and prevents infections also and doesn't burn. Yesterday I bought hydrogen peroxide and a new bandage.
I think it is getting better but it takes time.
I am sorry for those two crazy kids I have here, cause they want to play outside and they can't. Iceis is really sad looking at me with her big eyes, he is fine, he is chewing on his mamut (huge) bone.

I will keep you updated.

First bone

Cerby had his first bone today. He is now 6,5 months old and enjoyed a chicken bone for the first time. We will see if he will throw up. He was chewing it so lets hope for the best. Crossed fingers.

He is great and gentle and loving big boy. I love him.

Bad Boy

Today something happened that shouldn't happen. While playing with him, this big joker turned around on his back and scratched my chin. Man that hurt. I know it wasn't on purpose, but that can't happen.
I look weird now, it is a long scratch and it will be red for quite some time. Now I have to use makeup to cover it up.

Sorry for not posting




I was busy busy busy, my sister was here, we are about to move just alot of things at once.

Update on Cerby:
He is crazy, clumsy sometimes, loves to play with Iceis, is cute beautiful and I love him.
I don't know how much he weights, I have to check that on the next Vet visit.
He also had a spot with no hair on his paw but is going back and I have the Goodwinol ointment that should help.
