Carpal pad injury

[Moochersways 83]

So....just after a few opinions, my lurcher injured his carpal pad around 3 months back it was pretty much hanging off, vet wrapped and purple sprayed for around a month and lead walks for 2 months, all good now and healed up, but anyone had this happen then had it go again? Will it be a weak point in the future? Should I just now wrap it everytime he runs as precaution? Cheers in advance

Yes I always had bother with the carpal pad that a bitch I had tore it. Once it healed it the problem just reoccurred. Finished up having it removed.

Happened to a mate of mines dog, would heal and the same thing would happen again, Happened one day when we were out and when he got home he cut it off, cleaned it and wrapped it.....3 or 4 weeks later it was fully healed and that was the end of the problem

I was half tempted to just whack it off when it happened tbf as it was just hanging by a bit of skin but it knitted back together fine.....I'll just vet wrap it when I run him just paranoid about it going again last thing I want is him laid up in the season

I had mines stitched she split several times , my advice is to buy loads of vetwrap , and wrap everytime you go out , I'd often wrap both wrists , it takes at least 10months for scar tissue to produce enough collagen to gain elasticity back my bitch runs without problems now but it was a long road.

I used tesa electrical tape top and bottom to secure , obviously not tight . Tear a piece off and wrap twice snug.
