Vik has been in her crate all day except for leash walks, she's definitely bummed, probably thinks she's been bad. Have her out while making pesto for dinner (think I picked a weee bit much basil) and she's limping far less, she's actually weight bearing on the leg.
A few other questions:
Do dogs with blown knees readily/easily fold back into a sphinx down? She's doing that with no problem (of her own volition, hoping it will earn her a sprig of basil). She also still has tight sits (again, offered on her own).
When going through the whole Froli ordeal, Frol chewed the pad and underlayer right off her toe (due to some weird neuro sensation from the spinal CA). Even the vet said "Eww!!" upon seeing it. That said, it was her outside toe and she would absolutely NOT weight bear on it. This was a dog who wore her pads to bloody pulp on the table one night (but never bothered to tell me) and I found it when we got home. Same dog who had a 2" straight pin smack in the middle of her big pad and played 20min of frisbee before I found the pin. I was amazed by how much she reacted to single toe, and I keep thinking of that when I see Vikka hobbling.
O man, she's standing in front of me, and I can see that one toe, the poor nail is about 30-40 degrees pointed in under her. OUCH!
In reading Greyhound pages, there are injuries (forget the name, something along the lines of stubbed or stung or stuck??) in which the lateral ligaments of the toe aren't torn, but there's a lot of swelling/bruising. Then there is the actual dislocation where the lateral ligaments are torn. And then there are fractures.
Hopefully she'll just come home with a buddy-taped toe, and nothing further!!
