Ouch! Sorry to hear about Shelton's paw.
How's his BEAM? Is his BEAM score above 8 despite his lameness and possibly being a bit sore in the paw?
If his BEAM dropped and is not already getting better then you may need to find a local vet or ER to examine him.
Did you give him any Apis 30 (or any potency)?
If not, it's not too late to do it using a pellet in a cup of water and givng a Q-tip dose every 30 minutes up to 3 doses.
BTW-welcome to the forum Michael. Thanks for making your first post.

Thanks for the Quick reply Dr. Jeff.
Yes I dosed APIs mellifica 30c 10 doses every 15 mins first 3x and then every 30-45 mins. for 3more times
Seems to bear more weight on it and is faster on 3 paws.
Shelton’s behavior is ambitious to play and run and jump but reluctant still not bearing weight on paw but still wanting to play.
His energy is usually sleep day play night pattern with lots of water limited play but still grabbing toys in mouth
Appetite none hasn’t asked for food
Mood is clingy and wants to be touched
Uncertain how to gauge whether he is an 8 or below or above an 8

I dosed as suggested and amazingly just after the second dose Shelton limping considerably less putting much more pressure on the leg when playing and full of energy! Thank you!
Dr.Jeff I’m planning a special trip to Connecticut to have you see Shelton to prepare for our trip to Mexico what is the best way to schedule this to be sure that you’re available before I purchase the plane tickets?

That's great to hear about Shelton's paw!
The best is for you to use the online scheduler and then send me a private message (by clicking the envelope icon just to the right of your name in the upper right of the page) on the forum right after you book the appointment but before you get a flight.

Ok so my little buddy is BEAMing happy and full of energy eating like a wolfhound. But sadly Shelton has lost much hair on the leg that was bitten by the spider. The loss has subsided and growing back.
I couldn’t tell the type spider thought it was a wolf spider because I see many but it was dark and quick. Some of my neighbors have reported Brown recluse spiders.
Uncertain if that may have effected the hair loss and redness.
Any suggestions for me here?

I’m thinking it might be something else also as a factor because he’s getting a little dry raised patches with hair loss on different parts of his body as well.
