    Torn Webbing Between Toes

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone with this experience can chime in here with some advice. Yesterday, my boy Charlie managed to somehow tear the webbing between his toes on his back left foot while out in the yard. He's not limping or yelping and showing no signs of discomfort. After I cleaned up the huge amount of blood and finally realized what he had done, I cleaned it well and bandaged him up. Does something like this merit a vet visit usually? Would they even be able to stitch something like this? I should add that the webbing between these particular 2 toes has always been more prominent (meaning it extended closer to the tip of the toes) than all his other toes, the tear is about an inch or so long. I've since changed the bandage 3 times and there is still a very small amount of blood but it does look quite raw. Do you think it will heal on it's own or should I be heading to the vet this weekend? I don't even know if I should be wrapping it up with the toes stuck together or apart, will it heal back together or will it heal and the toes will be apart now? Any experience and advice is welcome and I thank you in advance.
