Guest Sighthound Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I was wondering if there is a cream that can be used on the paw pads so that they soften quicker? Cloe's pads are so hard. We have wood floors and she slides everywhere unless she walks very very carefully. It took her 45 minutes today to go about five feet. We are not rushing her in anyway, but would love to help her out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 bag balm works great. I apply it at night once the dog has settled into their bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sighthound Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Where do you get that at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 We got ours at Fred Meyer/Kroger, but you could probably get it at any big drug store type - Walgreens, Rite Aid, WalMart. It's in the specialty hand cream aisle usually in a small square green metal container. It's pretty goopy, so we did what someone here suggested and put baby socks on Dude after we put it on him. The socks fell off by morning, but the goop didn't get all over. Dude pads were really hard and crusty after being in a splint/bandage for 5 weeks after his toe amputation and they were really painful. It only took two or three applications to make them soft again. Now our problem is hardening them up so he'll walk on his foot outside - no concrete or asphalt for Dude for a while. greysmom Quote Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGreys Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Another vote for bag balm. I use it after I dremel Wayne's corn, and it's amazing how soft it stays. Great stuff Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TaraCoachCougar Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'll have to try that for Cougar's corns. I can pick it up when I go back to get a new dremel battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
