Stoper/carpal Pad

[green dragon 701]

Alright guys just a quick queston. My pup has cut his carpal pad he has done it a few times now and was wondering would if anyone has any advice on tougheing the pad up of some kind of tape or something along those lines .

Soak it in genson violet you can get it from the chemist and when it's healed up you can toughen the pads up by road work, when the pup is old enough.

I f your dogs injured its stopper a few times the scar tissue will make it a vunerable spot. Hardening it will dry it out and make it more vunerable. You can buy purpose made stopper protectors that protect the stopper They usually have velcro fastenings, or get a 3 or 4 inch piece of cycle tyre inner tube put that on when working just be careful it isnt to tight and restricts the blood flow

Nice one guys ill give them ago. Do you think the protectors woll affect the way he runs?

Out with some hounds one day when one had his stopper ripped. Huntsman said its always doing it,and as luck would have it a vet was out with us,he come over and cut it off with a penknife. He said that was best way to deal with them because it always tears again in same place.

Lad I know, had a dog and was resting him for 6 weeks, take it out ,would split again.This kept happening mate.Got it removed and was spot on.So I would agree with jeemes, if your dogs keeps doing it, get it removed asap as you may only be putting off the inevitable. Would rather do it now than in mid season. Hope you get it sorted

Not much at all I'd imagine pal, would only really be paying for the anesthetic. About £100 I'd expect.

Ask them for a quote first. Tell them your on a budget and you need to know exactly how much.

Think the lad who I know had to take up around Oldham ways. I have just lost all my numbers out of phone mate or I would have give him a bell and asked him how much it cost. Sure it was around £100-£150 and if I remember right, think the bigger the dog the bigger the cost. His was a big dog around 40kg+.

They are a nightmare i wouldnt let that dog have any running what so ever for 2 months till you think its healed 100% then give it another 2 weeks to make sure.if it happend 1 of my dogs again i would have removed straight away.

[green dragon 701]

Its f***ing shit its the 3rd time its happend. i thort removeing might affect the way he runs duno why i thort that lol

 

Is there something wrong with my dogs feet every dogman has seen him allways say how good his feet look

 

What do you guys the the healing time after removeing the pads

If you are running hard ground it will keep happening, rest him up until the ground has some give in it,at this time of year you might as well run him on tarmac roads, because you will do just as much damage running on the fields.
