RIGHT LADS LOOKING FOR SOME SENSIBLE ADVICE TO CURE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MY YOUNG LURCHER, AT THE VERY BEGINING OF THE SEASON, HE WAS CHASING A RABBIT AND WHEN HE RETURNED HE HAD A DEEP CUT ON TOP OF HIS FOOT  BETWEEN THE NAIL  AND TOE JOINT, SPENT LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS USING SPRAYS,WOUND POWDER,DERMAGEL, AND GELS, GOT IT CLOSED UP NICELY, SHORT RUN AT THE WKEND AND OPENED UP AGAIN, TOOK IT TO THE VETS WANTING THEM TO AMPUTATE TOE,ARSEHOLES HAVE ONLY XRAYED TOE WHICH HE DIDNT NEED, AND BANDAGED IT UP, IN THE HOPE THAT THE TOE WILL COMPRESS IT SELF TOGETHER,DONT HOLD OUT MUCH HOPE, SINCE THEY f****d ABOUT DOGS LIMPING BADLY WITH BANDAGEON,ANY IDEAS WHAT TO DO.

If it keeps opening then it needs stitching together and bandaged up until it heals.

thanks socks, but its right 0n the bend of the toe joint, not enough skin to stitch or staple the injury, had another bandage put on, these vets under the impression that it could pull it self together if kept covered for acouple  of weeks,well hacked off that they didnt go ahead and take   the toe off like i told them to, like all vets, will keep it going for coin,and then decide to amputate the toe,after ripping me off for a few hundred quid of useless  treatment.

Stick up a picture of it. And an open wound need air to heal not being bandaged up ......

grompz have you tried surgical glue on it mate when its opened up just a thought then bandage it

Sprinkle antibiotic powder in it from a capsule, strap the toe so it can't move (change at least 3 times a day) and put a lampshade on to stop it getting at the wound. You could also try taping it all around the toe, pulling the wound together. Again, change regularly and as socks said if it's open it needs air so this method might not be the best.

Put a pic up
