Cut Pad

Post by Leejo » February 23rd, 2011, 3:15 pm

Hello Guys

I was out with Blue over the marshes yesterday and when we got back to the jeep I noticed he was limping. Checked out his paws and found he has a deep cut on his front pad.

I have washed the cut out with salt water but have not bandaged the paw as thought it best not to, so the cut gets some air to it.

Any suggestions to aid his recovery?

You've done all the right things there just keep an eye on it and make sure it don't get infected, you were right to not bandage it.


Hope he gets right soon.

If it is a smaller cut then cut and heal can help to get things healing quicker, for larger cuts super glue is can be helpfull if you can stop the bleeding for long enough to apply it , if it is necessary to bandage the foot remember to pack between each of the toes with cotton wool so the toes dont rub together and create sores . :)
