My dog began limping, holding his leg up in obvious pain. I immediately took him to Metzger Animal Hospital where John Griffiths examined him. After dropping a few hundred dollars on X-rays, this experienced, seasoned vet whos been practicing for 15 years told me that my dog had nothing more than a corn. He advised me to treat it as such & assured me in time, it would heal. Having no reason to doubt his professional opinion, I heeded his advice & followed the prescribed treatment.
Twice daily treatments with corn cream, hyaluronic acid, customized boots, pain medication and nine months later, my dogs foot became swollen & seriously infected. It quickly became obviously that this wasnt, after all, a corn. I had his foot re-examined & x-rayed again only to find out the poor guy had FOUR stones lodged in his paw. These rocks were clearly visible on the x-ray from Metzgers after comparing the two.
