My dog, in the garden this morning, got into trouble and could not put her back legs down as ice had formed into hard balls in her back paws between the claws
As her feet were cold they didnt melt
Had to help her, limping, indoors and physically remove them by hand
She is OK now but those taking their doggies on walks today - take care

Oh bless her Jenny. Bonnie gets those balls of ice attached to the long fur on her legs. She hates it when she gets back indoors and they clonk against her legs, she tries to chew the ice baubles off.

I saw a spaniel yesterday with them dangling on either side of his ears ;D
If a dog has big paws, like mine, they do cause big problems
Keep your eye on her Jasmine just in case - if they get impacted in the pads they can hurt
She has four leggings (dont laugh) which dogs like her - with big hairy paws - wear in these conditions so will have to put them on her later - she wont like it ;D

I could see a spaniel would get them on their ears ;D That's the trouble with our dogs Jenny - they don't know when you are trying to help.  |

When i had 2 caverlier king charles spaniels before Charlie.They used to get snow balls hanging from their ears when they went out on the back garden in it. They loooked very funny at the time but it must be realy uncomfortable for dogs. I used to bathe them of for them as soon as they came in. Charlie hasnt been realy troubled with ice balls this year because he doesnt go walks anymore and only goes on the lawn to do his whatever. Its very strange for him though to couch down and do his poo and have to sit in a pile of deep snow. That one reason i will be glad when its all melted but no sign of that for a while.  |
