Front left pad problem ?

[Whispering Whiskey 66 1,071]

I was out lamping Saturday night dog had a good go, when a got home a noticed she was limping a little so gave her a check over to find she had cut part of her pad weather off the stubble I don’t no but it don’t seem to be healing.  I was going to glue it but thought it will heal 4 days later, it just looks like it’s not gonna meand as I hoped and now it’s to late to glue? Any ideas do I leave it longer? Do I muzzle the dog and cut it off ? Will it bleed like fuk? Or vets job only seems little to me like. What’s ye thoughts cheers

It will heal, but you’re looking at a few weeks rather than days. The joys of running dogs in September

If were just a cut pad then clean up with salt water and cover over lead walk for 3 weeks or so but not sure if that will join up with that flappy bit mate.

Could be a visit to the money extractor

If you feel confident, snip off the loose bit, give it a thorough clean, keep it clean and let nature take its course until it's healed.

If you're not confident, see a vet and be prepared to be ripped off !

Cheers.

It will be fine mate. Get some pad heal on it and keep it clean. Walks on lead only. Be right in 2-3weeks. Dont waste your money at the vets!

Thanks for the comments, I just cut it off, bled a good bit but some wound powder soon dried it up looks bang on now.

Heal from the inside don't they can take a while

It will need to heal from the inside out, so could take a while. in the mean time keep an eye out for any infection.

I had the same similar size/depth…self inflicted from loose broken tile in van. Gave it weeks to heal and would to an extent and then open again. So glued in the end and vet wrapped. Fine since.

Done this a few times over the year likes been said takes a while to heal its a very tender part so the dog deffo feel that it's worse if it's gets wet I normally just salt water it for abit then likes been said leave it to nature to sort out, I once whipped a dog for this type of insolence it's really not on, only joking
