cuts

[!!Lurcher96!! 12]

went out a walk last nyt with my bitch and she has cut her paw quite bad just wondering which is the best cream or spray to use?

you must get it to nit first if its deep SO GLUE STAPLE then clean it

IF ITS A GOOD CUT MATE, TRY SOAKING A CLOTH IN A BOWL FULL OF SUGAR AND WATER, WRAP IT ROUND THE CUT AN PUT SOMETHIN ON THAT AGAIN TO STOP THE DOG BITING IT OFF, THE NEXT MORNING U SHUD SEE ALL THE SHITE DRAWN OUT OF IT, THEN PUT SOME CUT AN HEAL ON IT. THATS WHAT I DO LIKE. WORKS WELL

if you glue it how long would it be to the dog could run again?

If you glue/staple it before you clean it you'd be keeping all the dirt and possible infection inside

 

I'd clean it with saline and use cut and heal or purple spray depending on how bad it is. A cut foot needs resting - glue or no glue, don't run it until it's properly knit. Lead walks only for about 10 days if it's deep.

A little trich that was shown to me recently. If it is a deep cut fill a syringe up with hibiscrub then squirt the hibiscrub into the cut. Give it a bit of pressure. This will flush out any debris and clean the cut out nicely. Is the cut on the pad or on top or between the toes?

If it does look mucky, a bit of Manuka honey in a dressing over night works a treat too

if its a cut pad then forget stappling it its a waste of time, as said hibiscrub or salt water, most cuts if kept clean will heal in time.

time he means for ever it must nit useing staples work if done right but good luck loads of skin hardeners and cut and heal to heal the scare anything for bed sores is good

Clean water warmed to blood temp, squirt in if you have a syringe to wash out any debris, close if closable then rest until knitted then gentle till settled properly. Using harsh cleaners may well add to the damage.

i have been using a gel called aquaform its starting to heal now but dont think she will be running for a while.

[king poacher 1 1]

use a thing called purple spray its for horses cuts we use it everytime our dogs get cut up its good stuff

I wouldn't staple a cut pad, unless the dog is totally immobilised there will be pressure on the wound, and the staples around it, you will end up causing an even bigger wound. As has been suggested, clean with salt water and allow to heal naturally, if you can put a picture on of how deep it is, it may help. Pads tend to heal extremely well, regardless of depth if left alone and kept clean.
