Dinosaurs 2,109 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 4 months ago one of my bitches injured her stopper pad it was half on half off. Vet stitched it back on with dissolving stitches shes been on lead walks only until this weekend when i let her have a few short runs on what i thiught was safe ground ie grass fields that have had a bit of rain on them She seemed fine then i noticed stopper knackered again!! Has anyone had a stopper pad removed? & if so how long did it take to heal etc. Atb Quote Link to post
TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Can`t you tape it up when excercising the dog until it`s healed? Get a photo up if you can to see the extent of the damage. Quote Link to post
