This is a strange request but I'm firmly of the belief that the flist knows all.

Brock is our family dog, he's 18 and very healthy apart from a tumour on his foot. The tumour is really big and has grown between his toes on his front paw. He was at the vets yesterday and is fine except for this one thing. Because he's so old they can't operate so the vet says to leave it alone and just watch to make sure it doesn't ulcerate underneath. Which is where I need advice.

The vet said he needs some kind of dog shoe making or buying. He told mam to get a round of leather and sew it, but we have no idea how. So, anyone know how to make a dog shoe? How do you keep them on for one thing? Straps, buckles, ties around the body? I have no idea.

Any ideas or urls to dog shoe sites in the UK would be very welcome.

Yeah, you're echoing my thoughts. I have no idea how to keep dog shoes on, especially as he's a jack russel so has little skinny legs anyway.

That's a good idea to contact the animal organisations, I'll do that this afternoon.

Thank you. *hugs back*
