Lori Rose has a corn treatment suitable for hounds and humans. If you order and quote 007 code she gives me 10% which I give to gap. lorirosehomeopathy.comit has been a success on a couple of our hounds. |

Thanks RulusMum, if we have another one I'll definitely give Lori Rose a try first.

My bridge boy Flash had repeated corns on the same pad  . We were just at the point of amputating the toe when out for a walk one day, someone who used to work at the closed down Catford dog track kennels suggested vaseline. I was dubious but gave it a try and low and behold it cured it  . I now rub a little bit of vaseline into all my dogs pads and none of them have had it since. I also had a dog that suffered from split pads and was reccommended Mushers secret which worked a treat for this too. Fingers crossed that Daniel's method works and that she is never troubled again.

Thanks Mary. Vaseline! I'll give that a try.

Nigel I am not sure how but our vet has NEVER had a corn come back on a Greyhound. I think he uses a slightly different technique. He operated on one of my own last year and still no signs of it coming back in the slightest he is in Leek if you would like to see him

Anyway as an update everyone: we've done our 3 visits to Daniel. Each time he made 3 slices with a curved scalpel blade, applied his potion and then wrapped the paw up in a huge bandage. That comes off finally on Friday, then we have 2 weeks of 3x a day oil and tincture and rubbing down with a pumice, then 4 weeks of doing that 2-3 times a week. He said it could have started with a thorn, but who knows really. He said if she gets a thorn again we should immediately rub the site down. |

A final update: it worked! The corn is still gone all these weeks later. It was a lot of effort but worth it. Whether that was the only method that would have worked I don't know, but another time I think I'd try the Vaseline, then the Lori Rose, then Lisa's vet, then Daniel Doherty.
And now when we have the hawthorn hedge cut we're going to use the mower to hoover up ALL the clippings, just in case a thorn was the trigger.

That's good news. Our old bitch Zara Lula had her toe removed and had no problems after that. Sammy has one but our vet doesn't like taking them out,so we had a bootee,which as Sue says, are brilliant things. |

Ok I'm sorry for resurrecting this thread but didn't want to start a new one but need some advice for our elderly hound Ed.
He has corns on one toe on each of his front paws, he has therapaw boots suggested to us by Sue (thank you ), which we were using before we realised it was corns that were causing the problem.
The reason for this long winded post is his corns are quite proud of his pad, is there anything we can/should be doing to reduce the lump, he might not like his boots but they enable him to go for walks, the local school kids think he looks cool and cute in them too.
He's around 14 years of age so obviously we don't what to go down the anaesthetic route but any advice gratefully received.
Thank you

It's three weeks since Paddy's last visit to Daniel Doherty and we're really pleased so far with how it looks. Paddy wore a Therapaw boot for many months but it did start to make the top of his foot sore after a while. We tried everything we could think of to ease his discomfort including dremeling the surface gently, not allowing the pad to get hot from the dremel though. In Paddy's case, he never stopped limping. Duct tape or corn plasters can help to soften the surface and aid part removal and that might be worth a try.
Good luck with Ed, hope you find something to help him.
Jo

Oh gosh poor Ed  With Dickie I ended up hulling them out myself (he was a very easy patient bless him) - a vet could do that without the need for any sedation if you don't feel confident doing it yourself x |

Thank you for your replies will get some corn plasters and give them a go but if no better (softer) in a few weeks I'll take him to the vet.
I just wasn't happy leaving them as they were if there was something we could try.

I have just been giving thuja tablets 2 in morning and 2 in evening in the meals, and putting duct tape on which has not been so good as not staying on long, and have put corn cushions by scholl yesterday and today have used vetrap loosely but enough to hold cushion on. She only has 1 corn though, but she was certainly bouncier on walks than she has for along time. Have read some where else that the tablets can take up to 5 months to work, I have only had them about 3 weeks.

Thanks for all the replies, Eddie had his corns hulled and whilst they will come back he seems a little comfier walking both with his boots and in the house and garden bare footed so to speak.
