Stevebeno 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 My bull grey pup whilst playing in the garden has managed to hurt himself he will not put weight on his front leg. i have found a small cut above his pads thinking this may be the problem. i have bathed it in salt water and put some antiseptic cream on it ~(human stuff) will this be sufficient??any help grateful Quote Link to post
Missie 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I use sudocrem if any of mine cut themselves but if he's not putting weight on it make sure there is nothing like a thorn or anything in the cut if you haven't already. Griff cut his pad the other day and wouldn't put weight on it for about 5 minutes until he found something interesting and then he forgot all about it! Quote Link to post

Stevebeno 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Sound thanks for the replys i have put sudocream on it for now which i didnt like i will see how he gets on reluctant to take him the vets see due to the stupid amount we have to pay. Quote Link to post
Missie 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 You may have to cover it up as some dogs will lick sudocrem etc off. If he's still not putting weight on it and you can't find anything in the cut a poultice might help draw out anything nasty. Quote Link to post
