Countryman62 542 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) If it’s a thorn or seed pal I’d use magnesium sulphate paste, it’s a drawing out ointment, only about £3 from a chemist, wrap the foot for 12 to 18 hours so the pup/dog can’t get at it and it should come good and if it is a thorn or seed you should be able to see it after the MS has done it’s job, atb Edited June 20, 2021 by Countryman62 4 1 Quote Link to post

Chaff 3,622 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 well this morning unwrapped dogs foot and just looked red and swollen no sign of any thorns or seeds, so took him to vet who said he must have slipped on rough surface and scraped it and has an infection so got some antibiotics for it. also said his pads were really dry and recommended some cream called mushers secrete something used on sled dog feet. so he know getting a twice daily bloody pedicure thanks all for the replys.
