ruby jet 184 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 watch how much salt water u use on there pads mate salt water can soften them i used antiseptic healing spray when my pup ripped her nail out and plenty of rest my pup was rested for 10 days then road walked for 2 weeks [bANNED TEXT] i lamped her and then it was just one slip to make sure it dident open up again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toddsmaggie 3 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Purple spray fella but let it mend dont rush the animal i never use salt water makes the pads soft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) get it lasered heals from the inside out never heard of this mate can you alabarate sounds good used to use the stimsonic on injured greyhounds or to take out injuries.but its not for the amateuer.take it to someone who knows how to use the machine. sorry didnt read that post correctly,never noticed it was for cut pads.good tip for hardening the pads is pottasium permanganate.turns there feet brown for a bit,but works great for dogs prone to splitting pads.

welshnutter69 78 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 terramycin will work a treat mate , like above, salt water will soften the pad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko 30 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 cut and heal is what you need and depending how bad the split is your looking at 2-4 wks and no mad runs give it time to heal properly so you have no future probs with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SMART DOG 340 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Time is a great healer, your just going to have to wait longer for it to fully heal before taking him out running. spot on with this one i have a dog in complete cage rest for 3 months only out to empty himself through ligament injury but the only thing you can do is let the injury heal properly or you may cause the dog lasting damage and needing op's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donkdaniel 236 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 its so frustrating been out a month now back to the kennel for him then good job ive got back up id never just have one dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluebrindle 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Potassim permanganate/ purple spray same thing really. Can you not make butterfly stiches with some micropore (small strips accross the wound that pull it together and then vet wrap it ( self adhesive bandage you get form most farm stores) If this is done he should be able to walk out with a bit of black plastic (thick silage wrap stuff) strapped over the top. Main thing is to keep the wound clean and the edges as close as possible together. Good Luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fresh earth 47 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Cut and heal is spot on one of the best ointments iv ever used id lay the dog up a fourtnight with no running at all as id expect it to keep reopening with any less than that of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
