Guest VanillaBean Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My Foster, Trixie, 9 YO female was playing outside. When she came in, there was blood on the floor. Did a once over and found she had a piece of her pad gone on her back foot. It is about the size of a pencil eraser. I cleaned it, put EMT Gel on it and then wrapped it in Vet wrap. Anything I am missing??? Doesn't seen to hurt her, but she seems like the stoic type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyvettech Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sounds like you did the right thing-In addition, she may need oral antibiotics...Since the foot/toes/pads come into contact with bacteria/dirt/water easily..I would just watch her and see how it looks...I would only keep it wrapped until the bleeding is under control though..you want it to breathe...

Thanks! She happens to be on antibiotics right now for gingivitis. So that helps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Once you unwrap it, might want to slip a baby sock on when she goes outside -- will protect it a bit from rough ground.
