Guest Iheartgreys Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Mac was running around the backyard and started limping. After we went inside I noticed that he had a cut, almost a puncture wound on the back of his paw, above the pads of his feet. I cleaned it out the best I could and then put some gauze and some pet wrap over it. He can get that off in an instant and it is pretty weepy. I am keeping it wrapped when he goes outside to keep it as clean as possible... any other suggestions? He doesnt seem to be limping anymore but i dont want it to get infected.

PatricksMom Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Sounds like something I'd have a vet look at, just in case, since it's a puncture wound and it's weeping.

Guest Iheartgreys Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Any ideas on how to get him to keep the bandage on until i can get him to the vet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddiesmom Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Maddie had this problem. Try a baby sock or a regular sock with some vet wrap around the top of it to keep it in place.

TinyMityMo Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Murph cut his foot this morning. I stood him in a bowl of water to clean it out. Then put a square of gauze over the cut and just ran vet wrap around his whole foot and ankle. A bit of cloth tape on the top edge to hold it on helps too. A sock over that keeps mud off when walking outside.
