skycat 6,173 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Chances are it will keep happening as the scar tissue won't stretch like normal tissue and skin: the skin beneath the stopper is under incredible strain when the dog runs and places its foot on the ground: lot of flexion in that area. You may be better off getting the stopper pad permanently removed at the vet. Then protect the area when running with a piece of soft rubber taped over the area. 2 Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,484 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 We were out with the hounds one day when a hound tore the stopper pad. A vet who was out with us cut it off with his penknife,and that was his advice..Dont try to heal them back but just remove them. Quote Link to post
zandy01 3,575 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Use some vet wrap round them when ground is hard... Help em heal and protect them. I've tried stopper pad protectors but wasn't impressed with them, then used vet wrap which you can buy from pound shops or eBay... Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yep, take any flappy bits off, let em re-grow and be real mindful of where you free excercise for a few months till all good. Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 get some soft leather and make some protectors a couple of my dogs use them on the stubble fields no skin taken off or cuts have a look on google it shows the shape or just buy a pair Quote Link to post

FERRETBOY 680 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 This happened to fly,ripped in half and hanging off. So I snipped it off, cleaned and dusted It with wound pounder. It healed well and I never had problems with it since. Give it time to heal and harden. Try exercising the dog on a beach. Quote Link to post

Ronisillah 26 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Don't think Al be Stanley bladding it just gona see if it heals longer and naturally Quote Link to post
flipbull 1,139 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Don't think Al be Stanley bladding it just gona see if it heals longer and naturally I wouldn't fancy cutting it with a stanley either, 2 hands are better than 1 . Its in an awkward place that wound j. Just hope you don't wait and it happens again mate. Just reading what Tjones says there j and he found the only way is removing. Just hope your not putting off the inevitable mate. Edited April 22, 2015 by flipbull Quote Link to post
