gary84 5 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 just got back from a run out with the dog and noticed shes got a fairly deep slice on one of the pads on her rear foot. ive cleaned it with salt water and im going to put an antiseptic powder i always use on her on the cut, is it worth bandaging her foot to stop any muck getting into it?? any other advice would be much appreciated, cheers gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csteed 40 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Dont worry about bandaging it up mate just do what you've done and keep her on the lead for a week or so, my bitch done the same about three weeks ago and it all healed up in about 10 days.

dso88 15 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Same has just happend to me I didn't bother with bandage because I think it would be more of a hindrance to the dog everytime mine goes out I put antibacterial cream over the cut to stop any shit getting in it if you got that I'd put vaseline over it plus the dog will keep it clean their selves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Personally i'd wrap it up in vet wrap, but thats just me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IN SLIPS 134 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 You want a bottle of Tuf Foot, its made for healing and hardening pads. if its a deep cut they can take weeks to heal, some times they look like there healed and there not and you end up back to start so give it plenty of time.

ddarren 1 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 hi my terrier did the same deep cut full length across one of her pads and had stitches charged me 380 was so pissed off but didnt want her having problems i had to keep it bandaged for 2 weeks changed dressing twice,now healed really good.IF i was you clean it really well put a dressing on it and only let her exercise in garden and dont let it get wet,also had to give mine anti flamitory tablets(think thats how you spell it} still got receipt if you need to know what they are.Good luck hope shes ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waidmann 105 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 i have just bought a dog which has a deep gash across the back foot, initially i cleaned it and put savlon on it untill i got some antiseptic spray used by flockmen. its called septi cleanse and is a wound dressing/ cleanser with a powerfull anti bacterial action ( thats what it says on the tin!!!!! its from net tex ).after a good spray with that i put some intrasite gel on there ( which apparently promotes the regrowth of tissue) its really looking better after a couple of days (not inflamed anymore and seems to be causing him less trouble). considering it looks like the dog has had the wound for a while its clearing up very quickly ( so far,touch wood). i got the stuff from a mate which saved me a vets bill no doubt( i was going to get a course of antibiotics) i will have to look around and get him some new stuff back and a bottle of each for my first aid cabinet too!!! hope this helps bud. waidmannheil!!

coneykenny 98 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 a good saline mix to flush all the shit out and super glue will do the job.if you bandage the foot up the dog will have it of once youve turned your back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
derbylad1 293 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 i agree...good clean out, super glue and i have used spray plaster that worked a treat on a cut pad. never goto the vets, they'll charge a fortune to stitch, that just wont work. i know its hard to do with season nearly at a close...but lead walk for 7 - 10 days..dog will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
