It is great to find this forum. I am a new owner of a wonderful dog. We are still house training him and we think that he had just spent his life in a cage. He has been debarked. He came to us very ill. The rescue group I found him at was not a Cocker group, at this point we rescued him from them. He was limping and we were told he has been to the vet and had a fox tail removed from his paw. Our vet gave us the bigger picture.
The real story was that his foot was broken so long ago that the bones had
tired to heal but could not because the bone was so badly broken. At the time of the break his skin was cut and there was an infection so bad that it was close to going into the bone. We paid a lot of money to save him. I am very happy to say that the infection is gone and he no longer limps. We have not been given any help from the people we got him from. Sadly they are full of excuses and not giving us anymore information about him.
