Nippers attitude has also changed dramatically.
She was so affectionate and demonstrative that I had a hard time getting any work done! She's always been good for me, but was a skeptic.
Now? She's openly happy to have her feet worked on, even though its still hard for her to hold the rear feet up for long.
Rear Feet
The picture to the left shows her right rear foots asymmetry; the walls are bent and the inside wall looks much longer than the right.
Notice the tight heels. They are much looser than when we started, but are still way too tall and tight to be healthy. I lower them significantly durring the trim, but don't invate the live sole.
When the two rear feet are seen side by side after trimming, you can see that she's still weighting the outer wall.
This will hopefully change when the thrush is eliminated. Jill will soak all 4 feet in Lysol dilution for 30 minutes a day for 3 days or until the thrush is gone.
The picture below shows how little healthy frog remains after removal of the damaged frog.
