If it was tendon damage you would think she would be holding it up straight away. Not a day later.

 

It could be glass or shit in there and it swelled up inside 24 hours later which caused her to go lame on it.

 

But it's just a guess. Could be anything really mate.

You say the foot is warm, is it swollen? most cuts heal from the bottom up so will take time for her to get over a bit of discomfort. .Most dogs are hard as nails while working but can make a drama when not

Some lurchers do limp for a while after a good cut. The get used to limping for a while and carry on with it after it heals, best thing to do to see if it is glass, is walk the dog on the lead for a few miles, don't let it off the lead, the idea is to get the dog walking properly while it has it mind on other things, like being let off the lead. If it still limps when you get back, then there may be something left in the pad. Try this for a couple of days and see how you go, I wouldn't let the dog off the lead until you know for sure.

had her out on short lead walk earlier .. was like she walked it off just barely limping every few stops she would hold it up on an off .. back rested up back hoppin on three legs for few mins then putting wait on it again ... after many scans off her paw pads toes nothing no resisting from slight pressure.. under and around the stopper is were the pain seems to be with her . talked to vet this morn on phone explained my situation . meeting him tomorrow .. he said she wouldnt be applying pressure if was tendon damage an mentioned tendon infection but wouldnt know till he has look.
